REHOBOTH BEACH, Del.- Officials with Tanger Outlets said that out of an abundance of caution due to the risk of public protests, they are temporarily closing the Tanger Outlets location in Rehoboth Beach.
The company said the decision to temporarily close on Monday was made for the safety of its guests, employees of its retail partners, and Tanger employees.
"Tanger understands that there are feelings of injustice in our society and, as an organization, we are committed to inclusion and fairness to everyone," the company said in a statement. "We believe all people should be treated with dignity and respect."
The announcement came after posts circulating on social media said there would be Justice for Floyd protests at the Bandstand in Rehoboth Beach on Monday evening.
