Nonessential retail stores in N.J. to reopen June 15 with limited capacity as coronavirus outbreak slows

Nonessential retail stores in N.J. to reopen June 15 with limited capacity as coronavirus outbreak slows

Shoppers will be allowed to go back inside most retail stores in New Jersey with restrictions starting June 15 after more than two months of lockdowns to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Gov. Phil Murphy announced Monday that nonessential businesses can begin operating at limited capacity as the Garden State enters the second stage of its multi-phase recovery plan during the coronavirus pandemic.

The capacity limits have not been announced by the governor.

Murphy also announced that outdoor dining will be allowed starting June 15, while hair salons and barbershop may resume having customers on June 22. Gyms, libraries, museums, and some government services — such as the DMV — will also be permitted to reopen in “Stage 2,” but he did not announce set dates for those.

“The next big step in our restart and recovery is just two weeks away,” the governor said during his daily coronavirus briefing in Trenton. “We’re ready to begin moving forward. We are ready because this progress is being seen across the state. I firmly believe we are going to stay on track.”

The move comes as New Jersey — home to the second-most COVID-19 deaths and cases — sees it outbreak continue to slow and as the state’s economy suffers widespread unemployment and business losses.

Many retail stores have been closed to customers since March 21 as part of Murphy’s sweeping stay-at-home orders to fight the spread of COVID-19. The governor permitted those stores to reopen for curbside service only beginning May 18.

Essential stores — like supermarkets and home repair — have never closed.

Important Operations Update June 1st

June 1, 2020

Valued Williams Trading Customer,

We first wanted to send our gratitude to all of our customers during this trying time, for your business and understanding.  As a business in this environment, it has been very difficult to get the proper personnel to fulfill our customers’ orders.   The unemployment and stimulus checks make it tough for maintaining and the hiring of new personnel. 

As of June 1, 2020, we have started our warehouse, and some of the office support staff back to full-time hours.  The remaining office staff will start back to full-time status over the next couple of weeks.  We are doing our best with the personnel we have, to expedite and fulfill your orders.  Please be patient.  

Until we can hire the proper amount of personnel for our warehouse, orders will be delayed.  A copy of the invoice will be emailed to you once the order has been completed by our billing department.  Any account that picks up an order at our facility must wait until the email is received before coming to the facility.  No Exceptions.

Be Safe and we will continue to service all your adult distributor needs going forward. 

Sincerely,

Management

Pennsauken NJ – Following a number of adult retail store shutdowns across the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Williams Trading Co offers retailers some helpful guidelines for reopening their business as restrictions begin to lift. Along with a checklist from the National Federation of Retailers, Williams Trading also is offering a quick list of helpful procedures, links, and a quick industry-related course on Williams Trading University that pinpoints helpful tips for adult retailers in keeping their stores, employees, and consumers safe. 

“As retailers begin to slowly open, the NRF has developed operational guidance and considerations for opening stores developed by leaders convened by the NRF. Williams Trading has also supplemented these guidelines with specific operating suggestions specific to the adult industry retail sector. Additionally, we are providing a Williams Trading University course called COVID-19: A Retailers guide, which is available for all retailers,” says Scott D, Director of Marketing and Sales at Williams Trading Co.

Keeping Connected: Paul Reutershan of Williams Trading Co. Creates Fast-Growing Facebook Group For Industry Professionals

Posted on by
Reply

Pennsauken – With the coronavirus affecting so many businesses, industry veteran and Williams Trading Co Brand Ambassador Paul Reutershan found a way to keep the adult industry connected and engaged. 

Creating the Facebook group Pleasure Professionals Place earlier this week, Reutershan invited all industry professionals to join, be they distributors, manufacturers, or retailers. The purpose of the group is to allow industry professionals to stay connected, discuss various issues, opportunities, business, and trends – but what the group really does is help people keep connected, keep spirits up, and overall promote a sense of togetherness during a very trying time. 

 

“I came up with the group late last Sunday night. I was looking at different industry groups and didn’t really see one that was available for all facets of people in our business. What a wonderful surprise this has been to get connected with hundreds of industry professionals from so many different arenas. It appears there was a desire for connection during this extraordinary time, and I’m thrilled to be a part of bringing our ‘family’ together,” says Paul about the origins of the group, and how quickly it has grown in such a short time. 

 

In just one week, the group has grown to over 700 members, and has been a great way for both veterans and newbies in the industry to connect with one another. Posts range from business questions to memes, to fun discussions to meanderings down memory lane. 

 

The Pleasure Professionals Place group is not just a great way to connect and network with industry professionals, though that is definitely a plus; there is a spirit of camaraderie that has sprung to life in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, and members are coming together in a way that makes it clear why the adult pleasure products industry is so enduring. 

 

To join the group, simply log on to Facebook and either search for Pleasure Professionals Place, or click on the link below:

As we now go into our first month of sheltering-in here in New Jersey, the normal task of grocery shopping has become increasingly important to pre-plan with the correct safety precautions from COVID 19. You can learn more about running essential errands from the CDC here.

Grocery Shopping Tips

  • Plan your shopping trip early in the morning or late at night, when store traffic is less busy. Many grocery stores are offering early hour entry for senior citizens.
  • The most important thing is to wear a mask or face covering during your shopping trip.
  • When you arrive at the store please make sure you disinfect the handle of your cart before touching it.
  • During your Grocery shopping trip stay at least 6 feet away from others while shopping and in lines
  • If your Grocery trip is a refill trip, you can use a bag from home and place your purchases into the bag instead of using a shopping cart.
  • Use a credit card or debit card, this eliminates the need to handle cash as the counter.
  • At the end of the shopping trip when you are back in the car, remove your mask and make sure you spray disinfectant on your hands first.
  • At home after the grocery store trip please make sure you wash your hands, kitchen counter and any other surfaces you’ve touched. Do this after you’ve put away the groceries.

How to Properly Wear a Facemask for COVID-19 Protection

Posted on by
Reply

When you have symptoms of cold, flu, COVID-19 or other viruses and infections, properly wearing a surgical facemask can help protect others from getting sick. It is important that you follow infection prevention precautions when putting the mask on and taking the mask off. If you are one of those people who need to wear a facemask, follow these instructions for how to put on and take off a surgical mask.

There are several types of facemasks. The most common are:

  • Medical (or surgical) masks – for general public use
  • N95 particle respirator masks – for health care professionals

How to Put the Mask On

  1. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Dry your hands with a clean paper towel and throw the paper towel away.
  2. Check the mask for any defects such as a tear or missing tie or ear loop. Throw away any that are defective.
  3. Make sure the exterior (usually yellow or blue) side of the mask is facing out, away from your face.
  4. Place the mask on your face with the blue side facing out and the stiff, bendable edge at the top by your nose.
  5. If the mask has ear loops, put one loop around each ear.
  6. If the mask has ties, pick up the mask by the ties and tie the upper ties behind your head with a bow.
  7. Once the mask is in place, use your index finger and thumb to pinch the bendable top edge of the mask around the bridge of your nose.
  8. If the mask has a lower tie, then once the mask is fitted to the bridge of your nose, tie the lower ties behind your head with a bow.
  9. Make sure the mask is completely secure. Make sure it covers your nose and mouth so that the bottom edge is under your chin.
  10. Wash your hands.

 

Removing the Mask

  1. Wash your hands before removing the mask.
  2. Do not touch the inside of the mask (the part over nose and mouth). It may be contaminated from your breathing, coughing or sneezing.
  3. Untie or remove the ear loops and remove the mask by the straps.
  4. Throw the mask in the trash.
  5. Wash your hands.

Please Note: If you are using a reusable cloth mask, at the end of the day, take the mask off from the straps (not touching the front), place in a pillowcase to keep the ties with the mask. Wash it in the washing machine with hot water and completely dry on medium or high heat.​
