Dan’s And Macey’s Food Stores Will No Longer Sell Tobacco Products


May 16, 2008, 09:27

Two of Utah’s major grocery stores will no longer sell tobacco products. The owner of the stores says that the change is to help promote healthy living.

Tobacco products will officially be taken off the shelves of Macey’s and Dan’s Food Stores on June 1st. President Dave Wirthlin says that they are very happy about the move and want to promote fresh products and good health.

“Tobacco is the only product that even when used as directed, causes harm to the user and the people in the near vicinity,” said Wirthlin.

Wirthlin says that the company is not too concerned about taking a financial hit.

“The amount of tobacco products we sell is quite small compared to the damage it does to people’s health,” Wirthlin says.

Wirthlin hopes that customers will understand. But not all do.

“It’s a bad decision,” says Meredith Oberle, who has been buying groceries and cigarettes at Dan’s for years. “People should have the right to buy whatever is legally available in the state.”

But other customers, like Becca, who enjoys the organic sections say that no tobacco is fine if the company wants to promote good health, they should.

“I think that makes sense. It’s not a right that Dan’s has to carry that for people. They shouldn’t feel entitled to have to get it here in my opinion,” said Becca.
