In accordance with the announcement made last week by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Aviation Mall will opened July 10 for on-property retail, dining and eligible entertainment following the official New York Phase Four guidance.
As part of its re-opening, Aviation Mall introduced significant changes to its safety and sanitizing policies and procedures, along with Healthy Shopper Guidelines with Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations everyone must follow prior to entering the property, mall officials said.
Aviation Mall will operate under modified hours of operation, Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Officials said some venues, including restaurants may have different operating hours.
“Our preparations over the past three months have truly put the safety and well-being of our guests, tenants and employees first,” said Aiden McGuire, director of corporate communications, Pyramid Management Group. “We are excited to welcome guests back safely and responsibly with enhancements to our safety and sanitizing policies and procedures, along with Healthy Shopper Guidelines all visitors must follow prior to visiting the property. Together, we can all do our part to put safety first.”
Guests will be greeted with a wide range of safety and sanitizing policies and procedures, all designed to make Aviation Mall as safe as possible for its employees, tenants and guests. They include:
• Face mask requirement: Everyone visiting Aviation Mall will be required to wear a face mask before entering, in accordance with New York state and CDC guidelines.
• Social distancing: All guests will be reminded to maintain social distancing and stay six feet apart with visual reminders placed throughout the center, along with new one-way directional signs to avoid contact with other guests.
• Enhanced cleaning and sanitizing: Aviation Mall has enhanced its cleaning and sanitizing of the common areas and numerous touch points, restrooms, seating areas, and food court. This includes using CDC-recommended disinfectants designated as effective against SARS-CoV-2 virus in accordance with or exceeding CDC sanitation guidelines.
• Enhancements to air circulation and filtration: Enhancements have been made to increase air circulation, air filtration and fresh air intake to bolster the quality of air within the center—all meeting New York State standards.
• Proactive touchless disinfecting: Aviation Mall’s cleaning team will be utilizing new electrostatic sprayers, leveraging the same technology used to clean hospital rooms to sanitize its center using an approved disinfectant recommended by the CDC.
• Hand sanitizer stations: New hand sanitizer stations will be available at: digital directories throughout the property; food court areas; throughout the common area.
Guests are also encouraged to take advantage of additional parking spaces at various center entrances designated for curbside pickup of favorite stores and brands.
There are daily health screenings for Aviation Mall employees, security personnel, housekeeping employees and all contractors returning.
