As the State of Connecticut rolls back some of the restrictions put in place for retail, we are still taking Covid safety protocols very seriously. We are open normal hours, keeping the health and safety of our customers and staff as our number one priority. You’ll notice some changes to the in-store shopping experience. As we move forward in this new normal, please be patient with our new policies.

Here’s what you can expect when you come in to one of our physical locations:

Safety Comes First

• We ask that everyone who comes into our physical store locations, please respect the health and safety of yourself and our staff by adhering to our posted policies.

• We’ve outlined procedures for our staff to continue to provide our award winning Right Fit™ service while adhering to all safety standards.

Offering curbside pick up and online shopping

Over the past year, we have implemented a number of new ways to shop with us minimizing contact with others. We will be continuing some of these services to keep options open for those who would still like to shop from the comfort of home:
