Westfarms Mall Slated For May 20 Reopening
Mall management has outlined some steps being taken to place customer health and safety above all else.

FARMINGTON-WEST HARTFORD, CT — The Westfarms shopping center is scheduled to reopen to the public on Wednesday, May 20 at 11 a.m. A reduced initial daily schedule will have mall hours Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Retailer and restaurant hours may vary, and mall management advises checking with each location for specific hours.
An email from mall management outlined some steps being taken to place customer health and safety above all else:
- Cleaning and disinfecting the center throughout the day, and after hours, with a focus on high-touch, high-traffic surfaces
- Using a stronger disinfectant when available
- Encouraging the use of masks where it is not already mandated by local, state or federal orders
- Using signage and decals to help customers with social distancing
- Offering hand sanitizer at designated stations
- Turning off drinking fountains
- Removing furniture and/or resetting seating areas in common areas to allow for greater social distancing
- Allowing mall walkers access to do what they love an hour before the center opens to the public (10 a.m.)
Westfarms will be offering curbside pick-up in designated areas adjacent to the four main mall entrances.
