Jacksonville, Fla. — A local retail store owner is working to open her business during Florida’s Phase 1 of re-opening. “We’re doing our best to get back on our feet.”
Rula Carr is the owner of The Snob Luxury Consignment Shop. “We just want to protect our employees, ourselves and the people walk through the door,” Carr said.
Governor Ron DeSantis gave retail stores in Florida the green light to re-open their stores to customers Monday.
