Hamilton Place and Northgate malls are taking steps to meet Mayor Andy Berke’s new limits on restaurant operations even as the shopping centers remain open as some others close nationally.
Restaurants in the two malls will stop allowing patrons to dine-in to comply with Berke’s executive order to protect against the spread of the coronavirus, said Stacey Keating, a spokeswoman for CBL Properties.
At Hamilton Place, the region’s biggest shopping center, seating in the food court area will close to diners even though the eateries can remain open, she said.
The restaurants can offer take-out or delivery, Keating said.
