The Mission of reopen NY is to halt the devastation that is happening to the small businesses of our great state and reopen our stores safely, starting Tuesday May 26th.

Small businesses are the backbone of communities. If we can’t go back to work and support our families, and allow our employees to support their families, the devastation will be nothing like our country has seen before.

We are committed to safely operate our stores, and are equipped to safely service our customers. We will follow all health protocols and we believe we can do this MORE efficiently and in a safer manner than the big box stores.

New York has been hit hard, and the last two months have left New Yorkers raw and afraid. But now is the time to start living more fully once again.
Our children desperately need to start socializing, it is imperative to their development. It is time to live again. We must start somewhere. The time has come for New York to rebuild.
