OK Suspends 2020 Grand Challenge Due To COVID-19

OK Supermarkets has announced it will suspend the historic OK Grand Challenge Jackpot Promotion,  because of the COVID-19 pandemic which has affected many operations and prompted the government to impose a cocktail of containment measures in a bid to try and curb spreading it, The Herald reports.

This was revealed by OK as they were giving a trading update in a statement that said:

Unfortunately, this year we could not run our biggest annual promotion, the OK Grand Challenge Jackpot Promotion, because of disruptions caused by Covid-19.

In the same update, OK said their shops are adequately stocked and their sales for the period ending 30 June 2020 have declined by 32% compared to the same period in 2019.
