Woburn Local Business Guide: What’s Open Or Closed In Town
We asked local businesses to update their status and created a handy guide from their responses.
WOBURN, MA — The coronavirus is having a profound impact on the global economy, and has been particularly damaging to local businesses that depend on foot-traffic and in-person interactions with their customers. Even so, many businesses have found ways to stay open and to offer delivery, pick-up and safe-distance transactions to serve the community.
We put a call out to local businesses on Patch this week and asked them to update their status, give details on how you can continue to patronize them and to let the community know how they can best help during these challenging times. You can find the local guide here.
If you own a local business and have not yet updated your status, you can find a simple submission form here or simply scroll down to the bottom of this article.

Many businesses have no way to stay open. Michael DeRienzo, a co-owner of Woburn Bowladrome, asked that residents think about businesses like his and buy gift cards if they can.
"We can't do curbside bowling," DeRienzo said. "Why not buy a gift card? that helps businesses like mine out now."
