The management of Franklin Park Mall said Monday morning it will comply with Gov. Mike DeWine’s stay-at-home order and close indefinitely beginning at 7 p.m. Monday and lasting through April 6.
“At Franklin Park Mall, the health and well-being of our customers, tenants, employees, and communities remains our top priority. In cooperation with the State of Ohio’s health director, Franklin Park Mall is temporarily suspending its hours on Monday …,” a statement from the mall said.
Mall officials said they will continue to closely monitor the situation, adhere to national guidelines, and partner with local health officials to make decisions “that are in the best interest of our communities.”
Franklin Park officials added that consumers should check with the mall’s restaurants and other service retailers who may be open at various hours to provide essential services for Toledo and surrounding neighborhoods.
“Thank you for your understanding as we move through these unprecedented times together. We will continue to support our neighborhoods and communities and look forward to welcoming everyone back to the center,” the mall statement added.
Some mall retailers already had closed, including the Macy’s department store, which shut its doors last week.
