“Durhamites care about each other and we all want what’s best for one another,” said owner Adair Mueller.

The Food Hall, now decorated with signs and arrows, had a long journey to its mid-pandemic Grand Opening.

“It’s honestly been a kind of bittersweet journey, but we are very excited to be here and have our customers here,” said Mueller.

Customers are required to shop in a much different way, with a much different mindset: Thinking of the safety and health of others.

“We realize that wearing the masks – it’s really for you. It’s not for me,” she said.

Walt Barron, Chief Strategy Officer of McKinney noticed that safety behaviors like wearing masks and social distancing had become political and divisive.

“If we want to reopen our city, we all have to take proper actions or else it’s not going to work,” Barron said.

The latest amended order states that if there isn't voluntary cooperation, law enforcement can enforce these restrictions through criminal charges.

“For the most part, people have been really diligent about wearing their mask. It is required in this space. We have hand sanitizer everywhere for folks,” said Mueller.

“We’ve been knocked down. We’ve kind of taken our hits, but we’re ready to fight back,” Barron said.
