Cortland County is slowly starting to come back to life as we move further into phase two of Governor Cuomo's reopening plan, and with that comes a little retail therapy. Many of Cortland County's shopping destinations have finally opened their doors after being closed for almost two months.
Though we have all appreciated the efforts locals shop have taken to provide us with virtual shopping experiences, there's just something special about going out and finding that perfect item, whether it's home décor, a beauty product or the perfect pair of jeans, and stores are ramping up safety measures to ensure the safety of their customers and employers. Expect social distancing markers, hand sanitizer in shops and plexiglass checkout barriers, and masks must be worn by customers and employees.
If you choose to take a trip to your favorite spot, please be patient with our wonderful retail community as they practice the new guidance our health officials have set for them to keep everyone safe. They are taking every precaution to ensure you not only have an enjoyable shopping experience, but a socially distance safe one as well.
Don't forget to keep tabs on your local florists as well. We are looking forward to purchasing beautiful bouquets in person, but they are currently offering delivery and curbside pickup. And if you get hungry, several county restaurants have opened their outdoor seating area. Click here for a list of eateries offering this option, as well as takeout and delivery.
This post will be updated as information becomes available, so check back regularly. Please contact info@experiencecortland.com if there is a retail location that we have missed. When in doubt, give your favorite spot a call to see if they are open.
