Westfield Broward announced today that they will re-open for the community starting May 22, 2020. The center will welcome back customers with modified hours, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, and will implement relevant government-mandated health and safety protocols as well as provide new services and amenities to address customer concerns during this initial recovery phase in the community.
“Westfield is excited to open our doors again to the community as we begin our initial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Angel Cabrera, General Manager, Westfield Broward. “We are working closely with local officials and other relevant community groups to ensure a healthy, clean and safe environment for our customers, tenants and employees; and are committed to providing the best experience possible as business begins to operate at the centers.”
Westfield Broward will implement new practices focused on the health, safety, and convenience of all guests, as well as retailer and center employees. They include:
- Increasing the frequency of cleaning measures following CDC and local health department guidelines, with a focus on high-touch areas such as restrooms, play areas, dining areas, and water fountains;
- Monitoring and controlling the number of guests entering the centers and crowds in dwell areas and queuing lines;
- Implementing and enforcing relevant policies related to social distancing, face masks and other preventative measures; and
- Providing an increased number of hand sanitizer and hand washing stations.
In addition, the center is working with select retailers and third-party operators to facilitate curbside pick-up services to make it as easy as possible for customers to quickly and safely collect purchases. More details on these programs are available from individual retailers, or through the center’s website.
Westfield will also continue to offer its Answers on the Spot program, which provides a real-time response by texting 954.284.1021 or via webchat from 10 am to 7 pm daily to answer questions about store and center hours, promotions, and other topics.
The company will continue its #WestfieldCares program, aimed at helping some of the most vulnerable populations impacted by the crisis in the local community. The program includes making monetary and in-kind donations to local organizations that serve groups such as those experiencing homelessness, economically disadvantaged families, seniors, and children along with activities thanking local first responders and medical professionals.
