What's Open, Closed In Lansdale During Coronavirus Outbreak

LANSDALE, PA — The coronavirus-related closures have led to a drastic change in daily life for many residents and businesses in the Lansdale area.

Gov. Wolf on Sunday ordered all restaurants and bars in Chester, Allegheny, Bucks, Delaware, and Montgomery counties to close their dine-in facilities as of Monday. That order was expanded Monday to include the entire state.

Additionally, all non-essential retail businesses in Montgomery County have been ordered to close. This includes gyms, theaters, malls, salons, entertainment venues, and community centers. That means places like King of Prussia Mall and Montgomery Mall, which defied the initial recommendation and remained open briefly, now have no choice.

Essential retail, like pharmacies, grocery stores, gas stations, and healthcare facilities, will remain open.

One way residents can support local businesses and help defray the cost of an extended closure is by buying gift cards online. This gives businesses which are often operating at the margins immediate cash. When the establishment reopens, you can use the gift card.
