Purcellville Creating Directory For Shopping During Coronavirus

PURCELLVILLE, VA — The Town of Purcellville is encouraging residents to support local establishments in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, which is creating havoc for local businesses and local governments that are seeing their tax revenue shrink.

Businesses in Purcellville — and all across the U.S. — are modifying their operations to provide alternative ways for customers to purchase goods and services with options such as no-contact delivery, curbside delivery, takeout, and online ordering.

Purcellville is developing an online directory of restaurants, breweries, ice cream shops and other businesses in western Loudoun County that have created ways to continue serving the community during the coronavirus crisis. The town will make the directory available on its website.

Businesses will need to fill out an online application or contact Amie Ware aware@purcellvilleva.gov to be included in the directory.

On Monday, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam issued an order requiring all restaurants and bars to close their dining areas at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday. However, these establishments may continue to offer delivery and takeout services.

Loudoun County alerted businesses that the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office will be keeping a watchful eye out for businesses found to be violating the governor's executive order.
