List of Macon businesses, chain stores that require masks during COVID-19

A growing list of local and national businesses are requiring customers to wear masks, including dozens in Bibb County.

Gov. Brian Kemp’s most recent executive order prevents cities and counties from passing their own mask requirements as weekly averages of new COVID-19 case and hospitalizations rise in Georgia. National retail and grocery stores like Walmart and Kroger are or will soon require customers to wear some form of facial covering in order to shop, and dozens of local businesses are following suit.

Here is a list of local businesses and national stores requiring or encouraging customers to wear masks. To add a store to this list, email jbaxley@macon.com:
