Westfield Montgomery mall is back in business, and its stores are ready to welcome you with masks, alcohol wipes, hand sanitizing stations and social distancing floor markers. About half the mall reopened this week, with more returns expected by early July. Some restaurants in the Dining Terrace are open for carryout and curbside pickup, but all of the seating areas have been roped off. Here’s a quick look at what else has changed since you last stepped into the mall — and which stores won’t be back.
- Steve Madden, Everything But Water and Bose are all gone for good.
- Wentworth Gallery has been emptied out, but it’s not clear if this is permanent.
- Forever 21, which faced an uncertain future a few months ago, has reopened after all.
- Amazon 4-Star and 7-Eleven are expected to open in the next few weeks.
- ArcLight and Lucky Strike remain closed for now.
- Mirch Masala is the first confirmed casualty in the Dining Terrace. Owner Poonam Chopra, who opened the Indian restaurant 10 years ago, says she’s decided not to renew her lease. June 28th will be her last day.
