The Phoenix market has officially opened for business, with allretailers allowed to serve customers. While some retailers havedecided to stay closed or offer only limited service by their ownchoice, most are completely open and actually seeing activity fromconsumers. While there are no specific laws or restrictions interms of safety, most employers are requiring social distancing,limiting capacity and suggesting protective gear.

"Some restaurants and some retailers are taking a slowerapproach and have not re-opened yet," TrentonMcCullough with Levrose tellsGlobeSt.com. "The ones that have reopened are reducing the maximumoccupancy to 50%. Most employees of these businesses are alsotaking extra measures to careful to get everyone to feel ascomfortable as possible. That includes implementing six-feet ofsocial distancing and wearing masks. Ultimately, we are seeingretailers reopen."

While most retailers have opened, some are still shutteredindefinitely. Dense, enclosed locations like movie theaters remainclosed. "You are going to see a lag with denser retailers, likegyms and movie theaters," says McCullough. "There are questionsabout how to implement some of these policies." Gyms, for example,have turned to outdoor spaces, but are still limited in the serviceand the equipment that they can provide. Additionally, outdoorworkouts, particularly in markets like Phoenix, will be challengingin the summer.
