The Lakewood 400 Antiques Market has announced its plans to reopen later this month after closing amid the coronavirus outbreak.
The market in Cumming closed in March for the first time in more than 30 years, but the hunt for your next treasure will be back on come June 19.
"This month we're celebrating our 17th year here in our Cumming location," co-owner Greg Spivia told 11Alive. "We operated for 18 years down at the Atlanta location, so we've been doing this for 35 years and we've never missed a show up to this."
The market is typically open the third weekend of every month. This month, the majority of the dealers will return. The market will feature more than 100 antique dealers.
The outdoor portion of the market will be larger than normal and the market will have added safety precautions, including following social distancing guielines.
“Also, we have sanitation stations with hand sanitizer set up all over the building, and we're going to limit the number of patrons in the building to 50 percent of the fire occupancy. We're also giving all the dealers free face masks to wear, and we have crews who will be wiping down the door handles and common areas to keep them clean. So we're following all the protocols to make sure that everyone has a safe and comfortable shopping environment,” according to Spiva.
