Almost all IGA stores work without a lunch break no matter what country they are located in. Usually supermarkets are open 7 days a week from Monday to Sunday with some changes in the schedule for weekends.
The company's stores do not only offer groceries, convenience foods and ready meals.
The company also offers its customers a variety of related products such as household chemicals, cosmetics, household goods and medicines.
How Long is IGA Lunch Break?
Today almost all stores of IGA retail chain work without lunch break and this approach allows to make it more convenient for customers to visit the company and ensure a constant uninterrupted cycle of work.
| WeekDays | Lunch Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | non-stop |
| Tuesday | non-stop |
| Wednesday | non-stop |
| Thursday | non-stop |
| Friday | non-stop |
| Saturday | non-stop |
| Sunday | non-stop |
The stores are usually open from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Sunday.
However, in many locations individual working hours are set because the company's policy is customer-oriented.
In this regard, I recommend you to clarify the opening hours of a particular selected store either by phone number of the hot line or use the map “Store Locator” on the official resource of the company.
IGA Pharmacy Lunch Break Hours
Also the company has its own network of pharmacies that certainly adds convenience for the average user as there is no need to look for a pharmacy in any other place.
As a rule, IGA pharmacies work without a lunch break, but their schedule differs from that of a supermarket.
| WeekDays | Lunch-Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | none |
| Tuesday | none |
| Wednesday | none |
| Thursday | none |
| Friday | none |
| Saturday | none |
| Sunday | none |
Often the pharmacy schedule is from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday, with Saturday and Sunday off. Some branches have a working day on Saturday.
However, as with supermarkets, the company often sets individual schedules for drug stores as well, so you should check this information, for example, by calling the hotline number (listed above).
IGA Lunch Break for Employee
Also the company has its own policy according to the rest of employees during the working shift, which, of course, is provided to everyone and looks as follows:
- 30 minutes for a meal rest after 6 hrs of work (not paid)
- 15 minutes of rest after every 4 hours of work (paid)
As with other supermarket chains, these rules may not apply in some countries or states (depending on the labor laws of the region).
Therefore, to get more accurate information, I recommend contacting the supermarket HR department.
Other Ways and Options to Get Information
As with any other matters not related to supermarket lunchtime policies, alternative methods can be utilized.
In some cases, direct contact through contact numbers and communication channels with company employees can be much more effective than a long search for information of interest.
Especially when it comes to a local store.
All customers of the supermarket and the public can use such ways of communication:
- The official website of the company: iga.com
- Hotline number or customer service phone number: 1-773-693-45-20
- Official Facebook page: iga.com/iga
- Contact email address or online support chat: iga.com/contact/contact-iga
It is reasonable to assume that the fastest way is to call the customer support number.
