Our restaurants were pleased to welcome back indoor dining at 50% capacity in January. Stay warm + support our local business owners, many also offer outdoor heated seating, delivery and takeout! West Reading may not be 100% open for business, but we are 100% committed to serving our community.
Please wear a mask and practice social distancing, if possible. Our merchants are following guidelines in line with advice from the CDC, State and Local officials. Our small business owners value your understanding in limiting in store visits and requiring masks to protect their personal safety as well as their family. Please call ahead to make appointments for our retail shops whenever possible, especially during Holiday weekends.
We invite the public to share their 2nd Friday adventures on our social media.
