Would really be helpful to know the “tenant” store so that customers who came in contact with the associate could be aware that they may or may not have come in contact. Pretty irresponsible not to advise customers of this public health issue.
Thank you for reading Fetch Your News. I agree. I believe the statement they released should have included that information. However, I am attempting to ascertain that. I will release it as soon as possible.
I’m so frustrated that the outlet mall wasn’t transparent in their report to the public. We don’t need to know where the person lives or their name, but releasing the name of the store affected would have been the right thing for the outlet mall to do. There are so many large corporations standing up and doing the right thing right now – no matter the financial cost to them and it’s disappointing to know that North Georgia Premium Outlets was not one of those corporations. Thanks for your hard work in uncovering the truth, Bill!
