What to expect when you come to visit Bon Accord Aberdeen
When you come to visit Bon Accord Aberdeen for the first time since Covid-19 restrictions were put in place, things will look a bit different. A one-way system has been introduced, asking that customers travel through the mall on the lefthand side. The two-metre rule will also be in place and signage will remind visitors of this throughout the centre. Footprints have been added outside all stores and lifts are limited to one family group only. The cleaning regime at the centre has been increased, with a dedicated ‘touch point team’ on hand to disinfect all high touch areas including lift buttons and handrails and hand sanitising stations will be positioned throughout the mall. It is also important to note that toilets and kids play zones will remain temporarily closed, until these parts of the mall can be reopened safely.
