With the Alameda County moving into the less-restrictive red tier, businesses are slowly reopening and we’re beginning to get a sense of the damage done to local businesses by Covid and the ensuing business shutdowns. Fortunately, a few businesses presumed dead have reemerged.

Uniform Advantage – Closed

One of the closures we failed to acknowledge in our last update was the closure at Uniform Advantage at the Powell Street Plaza. Uniform Advantage has operated for a decade at this location selling scrubs for the medical profession and other professional uniforms.

Their nearest Bay Area location is in Santa Rosa.

AMC Bay Street 16 Theater – Reopens

The AMC Bay Street 16 theater has miraculously weathered the storm of covid (for now) and is slowly beginning to reopen some of its theatres. They will begin showing films at their Bay Street location today at 3:30 p.m.

The theater, per the county guidelines, will open at 25% capacity, have assigned, spaced seating and will only accept touchless payments (no cash). They will serve food and drinks from their bar.

Public Market: Mr. Dewie’s Reopens, Baby Café “Coming Back”

Among the last stalls at the Public Market to reopen at some capacity have been Baby Café and Mr. Dewie’s. Fans of the two establishments can breath a sigh of relief as Mr. Dewie’s quietly reopened last week and Baby Café acknowledged that are working to reopen. “Baby Cafe will be coming back!” they announced in a note positioned on their counter. “We look forward to serving you again.”
