Following Gov. DeSantis’ directive allowing some non-essential
businesses to reopen to the public, Bell Tower, a newly renovated,
open-air lifestyle shopping center in Fort Myers, announced retailers
have begun to reopen for business.

Wile the center will temporarily observe reduced hours of operation –
Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., Bell
Tower retailers will individually determine their reopening dates and
hours.

dining, many of the center’s restaurants will continue to provide
take-out or delivery services as well. Many retail shops are open at
reduced occupancy with several providing curbside pickup.

Bell Tower will also continue social media and community programs,
such as the Pet Photo contest benefiting the Gulf Coast Humane Society.
Plans are also in the works for a relaunch of the center’s popular
monthly Yappy Hour, with social distancing measures and other
precautions when state and local authorities believe it is safe to do
so.
“At Bell Tower, we are looking forward to our businesses
reopening and having the opportunity to reconnect with our customer,”
says Samantha Lillard, senior general manager. “We know people are
anxious to get out and at the same time feel safe.”
“Facility
cleanliness has always been a top priority, and we’ve taken additional
precautions to safeguard the health of our visitors and employees in
accordance with CDC guidelines.” says Lillard.
