Nearly 7 months ago, to the day, our doors closed to the public to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, and while this left our financial stability and ongoing viability somewhat uncertain, the safety of our staff, customers, friends, and family had to come first. Many businesses re-opened immediately following the end of their mandated closure, but we made the decision to stay the course in the interest of public safety. We’ve spent the last few months quietly monitoring the statistics and making sure we were as prepared as possible for our eventual re-opening, so I’m pleased to announce that the day is finally here. We will be re-opening for in-store shopping tomorrow, Monday, the 12th. I’m excited to see everyone’s faces again (or at least the top half of them), and I’m excited to get back to the work of putting awesome games into the hands of great people, without the obstacles conferred by closed doors. I’m also highly cognizant of the continuing danger this presents, but here are the steps we’re taking to keep everyone as safe as we possibly can:
- Nobody is allowed in the store without an adequate mouth and nose covering, the criteria regarding which we’re explicitly outlining on our posted signage.
- We have free disposable masks and nitrile gloves for any customer who needs them.
- No more than five customers are allowed in the store at any one time.
- Our play areas and public restrooms remain closed to the public for the foreseeable future.
- A large, full-coverage sneeze-guard has been erected around our register.
- All products touched by un-gloved hands will be disinfected before putting them back out for sale.
- All Magic singles purchased from customers will be safely disinfected before they’re put out for sale.
- Floor decals designate safe distances for people to stand in line when ready to check out.
- We are continuously cleaning and disinfecting commonly-touched surfaces.
- Curbside pick-up, contactless local delivery, and shipping are all continuing options for customers who aren’t ready to return to the store.
