Small shops in Wisconsin can open their doors to a handful of customers under the latest change to the state’s Safer at Home order.
Gov. Tony Evers on Monday said stand-alone retailers and shops in strip malls can open to five people at a time.
“This is focused on small retailers,” the governor said. “I don’t speak for the Kohl’s corporation, but I can’t imagine them opening their stores for five people.”
Evers is also allowing drive-in movie theaters to open, but everyone has to stay in their car.
The governor say this “turning of the dial” does not include barbers or hair salons.

Many lawmakers say it’s good to see steps toward reopening Wisconsin’s economy, but add that it’s disappointing to see Evers once again change his Safer at Home order on the fly.
“Gov. Evers continues to miss the mark by tinkering,” Sen Duey Stroebel, R-Saukville, said on Twitter. “Hospitalizations are down or flat over the last week. Businesses and citizens are acting sensibly. Wisconsin is ready to open up – NOW!”
His new order takes effect immediately.
