Friday was a soft reopening before opening to the general public on Sunday and customers will find a whole new way of doing business.

“I’m already lucky. I got out of the house. I’m in a safe environment. I’m just hoping to win,” said member David Moore.

“I’m very excited. I’m back at the machine and I’ve been waiting for a while, and look at that, I’m winning,” said member Shlaurence.

Sr. Vice President and General Manager Randy Conroy said reopening has been a long time coming.

“We are very excited. The day we closed on March 16 is when we started thinking about reopening, and 100 days or so later, we are ready,” Conroy said.
