LOS ANGELES — The Hustler Hollywood adult retail chain has announced the re-opening of some stores — including in states with curbside pickup rules — following "stay-at-home" orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The health and safety of our customers and employees are our top priority,” said a Hustler Hollywood rep. “We will continue monitoring the situation and make adjustments as needed.”
“Each and every Hustler Hollywood location will be regularly cleaned and sanitized per the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as well as offer a hand sanitizing station upon entrance,” the rep added.
Pointing out that social distancing is “the most effective way for everyone to do their part,” the rep noted the chain will limit the number of customers in-store at any one time.
“We kindly ask all customers who wish to enter the store to wear a face mask, and encourage those to pay with credit card,” the rep added. “Our store staff will also be equipped with clean face masks and gloves to protect the safety of all."
All stores that have fully re-opened are also offering curbside pickup options.
"Some stores opened first with curbside, then as soon as the state eased restrictions, we went to a full open," said a rep.
