The decision was made in part due to supply chain issues such as truck and driver shortages and shipping delays, according to a report from CNN.

These issues have caused stores to have trouble getting products onto shelves.

CNBC reported that purchasing limitations will be implemented on items including paper towels, toilet paper, bottled water and certain cleaning products.
