The Central Weather Bureau predicts that Typhoon Bavi will bring the most intense wind and rain from tonight to tomorrow. Shuangyue Food Co. announced that in addition to complying with the government's announcement of a holiday on July 10th, after evaluating the latest weather, traffic, and employee commuting risks, it has decided to close all stores in Taiwan on July 11th as well. This is to allow employees to take typhoon precautions with peace of mind and to reduce the risk of customers going out during the wind and rain.

Shuangyue Food Co. pointed out that daily operations of catering stores involve food preparation, staff scheduling, logistics distribution, and on-site services. Extending the closure will inevitably increase operational adjustments and affect business revenue. However, considering that strong winds, heavy rain, road flooding, or abnormal public transportation may still occur during the typhoon's passage, it was decided to announce in advance so that store staff and supply partners can make early adjustments.

The company stated that the government's announcement of a holiday is an important reference, but whether the stores operate or not still needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on the actual wind and rain, road conditions, and employee safety. This time, after continuously monitoring weather information, it was decided to extend the closure to avoid employees commuting during the most unstable weather period.

Safety is always prioritized over sales. Shuangyue Food Co. stated that as long as a relatively large typhoon threatens, the brand will actively evaluate the closure regardless of whether the government announces a holiday or not. A one-day closure in the catering industry will inevitably affect preparation and operations, but customer and employee safety is always more important than short-term sales.

By announcing the temporary closure of all stores in Taiwan on July 10th and 11th in advance, Shuangyue Food Co. not only allows employees to stay at home safely to prepare for the typhoon but also hopes to reduce the risk of consumers going out during the most intense wind and rain, avoiding going to the store in vain or increasing traffic risks.

Announcing the closure in advance can also allow suppliers and store teams to have more time to adjust delivery, ingredients, and scheduling, reducing the operational pressure caused by temporary changes. For customers, having clear business information can also allow them to adjust their dining plans in advance.

The company reminds that during the typhoon period, one should pay close attention to the latest information released by the Central Weather Bureau and local governments, and avoid going to mountainous areas, coastal areas, and low-lying areas. The subsequent business status of each store will be adjusted based on the actual weather and traffic conditions and announced through official platforms.
