What measures has Theory taken to combat COVID-19 transmission?
We closely monitor updates and follow guidelines whilst operating our retail
stores
during the pandemic. The protection of our employees and customers is our top priority, therefore
our teams
and facilities are equipped with the proper training, tools, and sanitisation materials necessary.
Some of our
new protocols include:
- Enhanced cleaning throughout the store with a focus on high touch surfaces;
- Daily employee health screening;
- Practicing recommended physical distancing guidelines of 6 feet when engaging with other employees and with customers;
- Limiting both store and fitting room capacity;
- Holding returns or product that has been tried-on in the fitting room for a period of 48 hours prior to being made available to sell.

How do new COVID-19 protocols affect the in-store shopping experience?
At the sales tills, we encourage customers to utilise contactless payment
methods,
including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Tap to Pay, and discontinue use of personal reusable bags.
