OK, so maybe it's not the same as strolling the mall and stopping for a Jamba Juice to enjoy as you window shop, but Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa is now working with a number of its retailers to offer curbside pickup.
Retailers like Barnes & Noble, Blink Artisan Boutique, Board Game Barrister, The Container Store, Talbot's and Nordstrom, along with restaurants like Potbelly, Maggiano's, Panera and Five Guys are among those taking part.
Curbside pickup is available Monday-Saturday, from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Sundays from noon until 6, though individual store hours may vary.
You can place your order with a specific retailer and then pickup in a designated Mall Curbside Parking Area.
You can find all the participating retailers and details on the Mayfair Mall web site here.
Don't worry, someday you'll be able to grab a latte and shop in person again, but for now, at least you can have some access to these shops.
