The Nebraska Crossing outlet mall will not be open to the public this weekend after all.
A week after its "soft re-opening" announcement drew public and local leader's attention, Nebraska Crossing said in a social media post that the event is not open to the public.
The notice sent to retailers that drew public attention on April 14th did not specify the re-opening, initially set for Friday, was for employees only. The initial announcement specifically mentioned processes for public areas and measures the outlet mall was undertaking to protect employees and customers, but now only store employees will be allowed at the mall starting this weekend.
The mall's owner says it will be up to the individual stores if they want to open and the "soft opening" will given retailers a chance to start warming up to the reopening process.
According to the post, the only store that will be accessible to the public is Uniform Destination, which sells medical scrubs, "to help the medical community gear up properly."
