Shopping malls in the Edmonton area have closed the majority of their services, following Friday’s orders from the provincial government to close all non-essential businesses.
The malls have not entirely shut their doors, but shopping access to all will remain limited to stores deemed “essential.” Many of the malls in Edmonton have announced changes to how they operate to accommodate for the new rules, with many deciding that only doors near the essential services will be open to the public.
The government said in its announcement Friday that all clothing, gift, beauty, art, luggage, computer and gaming, toy, music, book and sporting stores would be required to close.
