Looks like it’s going to finally happen! Our plan is to reopen as of June 10. (Woot!!) We will still be operating with reduced hours — so closed Mon & Tues, open 12-7 Wed-Fri, 10-6 Sat, and 1-6 on Sundays. No gatherings or events just yet, but we will be open for S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G!!
That said, we do have to keep the numbers in the store down, and since we we don’t be in the position of either having to rush folks through OR leave people twiddling their thumbs outside, we decided to offer shopping reservations! You can sign up for a particular 50-minute slot and when the clock strikes the top of the hour for your time slot, you can waltz right in, no waiting. You’re welcome to browse, chat, and just soak up the vibe for the full 50-minutes OR you can swing by anytime during your reserved time slot, run in, pick up what you need, and be on your way. Entirely your call. And if you’re in the area and want to take your chances on getting a walk-in spot, feel free! If we have empty spots for that particular time slot, we’re happy to have you join us. 🙂
You’ll be able to reserve your time slot (aka ‘purchase your Golden Ticket’) on our website. [Look for the ‘Shopping in the Pandemic’ page.] There is no charge, of course, but ‘Woo Commerce’ still requires your billing info (name, address, phone & e-mail) to complete the ‘purchase.’ Sorry. We tried to find a work-around for that, but no luck. The good news is if you want to ‘create an account’ you only have to fill all that out once and after that it will leave you alone! In the meantime, we promise not to sell your info to any mailing list collectives and appreciate your patience. And you do always have the option of just giving us a call to reserve your time slot, as well!
Finally — yes, masks will be required. Sorry, all. (We hate them too!) BUT we feel like it’s the safest option for our staff and our customers and so are going to stick with that requirement for the time being. If you don’t have one, we’ll have some extras available on hand. (We also have some to sell if you want to stock up.) And if you just can’t do masks, we get it. We’ll still be offering curbside pick-up and mail-order delivery options.
That’s it. Excited to see you all again!!!
