We are continuing to ship orders daily (even to locals) so that is an option if curbside pickup is not comfortable for you. Most importantly, stay safe—enjoy getting back to basics and spending quality time with your loved ones.

Walgreens: We’re here to make life a little easier with convenient drive-thru shopping, updated store hours & the answers you need. https://www.walgreens.com/topi...

Westfarms Mall: The indoor sections of shopping malls, amusement parks, and bowling alleys across Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have been ordered to close, Gov. Ned Lamont announced Wednesday.

Webster Bank: We are modifying banking center lobby access to stay aligned with the CDC’s recommendation of social distancing, to help prevent the spread of the virus. There has not been a confirmed case in any of our banking centers. We encourage you to use Webster’s online banking platform websterbank.com or the mobile app, whenever possible, where you can view transactions, pay bills and more. For any additional help, our Customer Care Center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at 800-325-2424. Our banking centers and ATMs will remain open and are following CDC best practices for safety. Business owners may also visit the U.S. Small Business Administration website for more information on programs to help businesses through this challenging time.

Wood n Tap: All nine Wood-n-Tap restaurants are closed until the state deems it is safe for restaurant and bar businesses to reopen. Our team has become increasingly concerned with the safety of our staff and guests, and that is more important to us than anything else. We look forward to the day we can announce our re-opening, and we cannot wait to let you all "Come As You Are" into our doors once again. Trust we will be back and better than ever when that time comes! Wishing all of the people in all of our communities well. Thank you for your support!

We encourage you all to continue to support your families, friends, neighbors, local small businesses and community.

Please also continue to share your small business updates, specials and virtual events with us, and we will continue to share them with others. We're here to help support you in any way we can.

All my best- Rose
