As some Maricopa businesses made a cautious comeback in May, so did Maricopa shoppers.
“We were going crazy at the house,” said Kandy Christopherson of Rancho El Dorado.
Since Gov. Doug Ducey issued the “Stay at Home” executive order in March, Christopherson’s main excursions were to the grocery store and Costco. So, when retailers like Ross started to roll out the re-openings in mid-May, she was there.
In fact, she and her family were there for two and a half hours before the doors opened. When deals are on the line, they know how to queue.
