Retailers Excited To Reopen

We have team coverage for you this morning on reactions to the new, safer at home order set to go into place starting tomorrow at 5!

We have reaction from all across north alabama, from the shoals to sand mountain.

Waay 31's sierra phillips is live with why some are concerned it might be too early to reopen businesses in marshall county but first, we start with waay 31's rodneya ross.

She is live with how local businesses in the shoals are preparing to open their doors tomorrow evening.

Rodneya?

We talked to a business owner who is excited to reopen her doors -- but she'll be taking every precaution she can to keep her staff and customers safe including wearing masks.

Ashley morrow is the owner of shoppes at coldwater in tuscumbia.

Her business has actually seen growth as more people began shopping online while she was closed.

Now that morrow can reopen at 50-percent capacity, she plan is to have customers come in by appointment only for the next few weeks.

And they'll have to wash or sanitize their hands.

You'll have to wear masks in here.

We will wear masks when we have customers in here and it's those small guidelines that have been put out that hopefully when they're together can create a safer shopping environment and that's what small businesses can do over the big guys.

Morrow also told us it's important for businesses these days to have an online presence to stay afloat.

Retail stores like morrow's will be allowed to reopen tomorrow at five p-m.
