COVID Business Updates

COVID-19 Business Updates Downtown Norfolk

As a Downtown organization, we wish to support our local businesses and members while providing the public with as much up-to-date information as possible.

While the first priority for everyone is to take appropriate steps to limit the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the health of our community, if you can, please consider supporting the Downtown Norfolk small business community.

Please see below for updates on businesses — including closings, cancelations, and adjusted hours.

Please note that DNC staff is monitoring and updating this list as frequently as possible. If you are aware of a change or addition to this page, please email Sam Black at sblack@downtownnorfolk.org.
We recommend calling stores to check on their status, hours of operation, and best options as well.

Due to the ever-changing nature of the current situation, we appreciate your patience and continued support of our Downtown businesses.
