Governor Murphy announced earlier today that New Jersey Shopping Malls can reopen on June 29th! This is great for more retail businesses to open up and start making money once again.

Governor Murphy did say there are still some restrictions. Movie theaters and arcades are to remain closed until further notice.

Shoppers and mall staff will be required to wear masks, unless medically unfeasible. All stores will be limited to 50% capacity and social distancing among shoppers will be encouraged.

I am excited about this. I can FINALLY use my Macy's gift card that has been sitting on my dresser since Christmas. I need Summer clothes. I'm ready to do some shopping!
