Company-Owned Hallmark Gold Crown Stores to Begin Reopening

Hallmark Cards, Inc. will begin to reopen company-owned Hallmark Gold Crown stores across the United States after temporarily closing stores in mid-March. Stores will reopen with reduced hours and new operational protocols such as enhanced cleaning procedures, social distancing, facial coverings, occupancy limits, and the like. Consumers should call their local store to find out if the store is open and its individual hours of operation.

Independent retailers who own and operate stores within the Hallmark retail network make their own decisions regarding their store operations. Please reach out to individual stores to find out if they are open, operating with reduced hours, or closed.

Hallmark’s COVID-19 task force will continue to monitor this evolving situation, utilizing guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and local public health and emergency response agencies.
