Some downtown Napa retailers reopen, others wait and see

Leslie Parker, owner of Napa Running Company, said she’s quite happy to reopen to in-store guests. Until now, Parker had been “limping along” by offering curbside and delivery service.

Next, she needs to talk to her employees about restarting work.

However, “I have no idea what to expect as far as foot traffic.”

She’s hopeful other stores will also reopen, and soon. “I feel like we all need each other down here.”

First Street Napa announced that now that shoppers are expected again, signage will be installed to remind visitors of social distancing and mask wearing.

“We’re being thoughtful about our operations so we can create a safe environment for all of our tenants and guests,” said Todd Zapolski, principal and managing member, First Street Napa.
