Due to the pandemic, many stores and restaurants had to close their doors for a little over a month, but we are happy to announce that these places are officially reopening! You will now be able to shop and dine again from somewhere other than your home. This is great news for local businesses, as many suffered when they were forced to close their doors. Here are just a few of the local businesses that have reopened!
Crimson Blue is a boutique located in West Mobile. They are locally owned and sell women’s clothing and accessories with a variety of shapes and styles in mind! The idea for the store was created when the owners wanted clothing they could wear to work, cheer for their favorite team and go out on the town. Regardless of what team you cheer for, the ladies at Crimson Blue definitely have something for you, and they currently have grand reopening sales going on, so be sure to check them out!

Supporting these local businesses is very important right now, as many suffered and were forced to close due to stay at home orders. We are very excited to see all of them reopening and hope they will be able to stay open for a long time! We hope everyone is still remaining safe as everything reopens!
