Tecumseh Mall is reopening on Monday, May 4th, 2020 for essential stores and services only, mall officials announced Friday evening.

“At Tecumseh Mall, we want to assure our customers that we are taking every precaution as we begin to open our doors,” says Debra McVeety, Tecumseh Mall General Manager and Director of Leasing. “We will ensure that the centre is clean and sanitized with special attention paid to high-touch areas like table tops and door handles.”

McVeety says mall tenants “will also take special care to ensure the safety of our customers and their staff.”

“We encourage everyone to take personal precautions, to stay home if they are feeling unwell and practice physical distancing,” she said. “We are opening as per the provincial guidelines to support essential business and provide the public access to those services.
