Natick Mall Reopens Following Coronavirus Closure
NATICK, MA — Massachusetts on Monday entered the second phase of the post-coronavirus reopening plan, and that means malls and other retail stores are reopening across the state.
The Natick Mall was reopening Monday morning for the first time since mid-March. If you're headed out to shop there, you'll notice some differences put in place to keep shoppers safe.
"New measures have been implemented to help ensure the health and safety for all who enter the mall, including hand-sanitizing stations, touch-free interactions, frequent and intense cleanings and social distancing directions," the mall owners said in a statement Monday. "We are working diligently to provide a safe, clean environment where people feel comfortable shopping, dining and enjoying their time."
Only about 35 stores will be open at the mall, and some services — like play areas and valets — won't be available. The mall has close to 200 stores, restaurants and kiosks. The Wegman's grocery store has been open throughout the pandemic.
The Natick Mall will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays.
