Macy's plans to reopen 68 stores on Monday in states that have loosened restrictions and Chief Executive Jeff Gennette said he expects to have all the company's roughly 775 stores reopened in six weeks, if state and local governments allow it, the Wall Street Journal reported. The shopping experience will be very different however. Macy’s beauty departments will offer “no-touch” consultations. Customers will be required to use hand sanitizer before trying on jewelry and only a handful of fitting rooms will be open at a time. Plexiglass will be installed at cash registers. Other retailers are also adapting. Best Buy will open about 200 stores in May to shoppers who make appointments for in-store consultations to buy appliances or electronics. Costco Wholesale, whose stores have remained open during the pandemic, will require customers to wear face coverings to shop starting next week.
