WE ARE OPEN!
Please read below for info on what to expect:

Greetings Friends of Mill No. 5,
We have missed you all immensely! We hope that you and your loved ones have stayed healthy and safe during our time apart.

We are happy to announce that we will be opening our doors to the public starting this Sunday, July 12th from 11am-2pm during The Farm Market! The health and safety of our team, partners, and community is our primary focus, and we will be opening with an abundance of caution. Please read below to learn more about what to expect:

- When you arrive at Mill No. 5 you will find staff and signage aplenty to direct you towards our entry line. We will be encouraging the use of our stairwells, but the elevator will also be available as requested. The stairwell closest to the breezeway will be used for traffic going up, and the stairwell nearest The Luna Theater will be used for traffic going down.

- All visitors must wear masks (properly covering nose and mouth)

- Social distancing guidelines will be observed

- As much as it pains us to say: Please make your visit as brief as possible. Visit your favorite shops, make a purchase, then make room for the next guests.

- Each shop will have guidelines about how many visitors may be in the space at a time.

-Sanitization stations will be available in common spaces as well as in each shop

- Coffee and Cotton will be open and serving coffee and baked goods for TAKE OUT ONLY. Please do not remove your mask to eat or drink indoors.

- You can find The Farm Market outside in the rear lot on Middlesex St.

We look forward to the time when we can come together as a community for days full of browsing, lounging, and connecting, but in the meantime we are thrilled to see (part of) your faces soon.

We're not feeling very eloquent, and don't want to take space away from BIPOC, but we feel that silence is not an option.
BLACK LIVES MATTER and human life is always more important than property.

(Read on for a message from Mill No. 5)
Words to live by from @SweetPigPress⠀
⠀
Hey Friends!⠀
We miss you all already! We hope you're staying home if you can and washing your hands often!⠀
Our doors will remain closed until at least April 7th. While this is difficult for our community of small businesses, we are resilient, innovative, and, quite frankly, pretty stubborn. We'll be sharing ways you can continue to support us in the coming weeks, so please stay tuned.⠀
⠀
In the meantime, we acknowledge that our weekly Farm Market is an essential source of food for some in our community, and an equally important source of income for our farmers and food producers. This being said we would like to try to continue to offer the opportunity to purchase from our vendors on Sundays. The market will be outdoors, and we will encourage social distancing, hand washing/sanitizing, as well as pre-ordering items when possible. There will be no music, no mingling, and none of the usual ambiance that makes our usual market so fun. We're doing this because we believe food access is crucial, especially during these difficult times. Kim, our amazing Farm Market manager is diligently working on the details, so please be sure to follow @Farmlowell for more info as it becomes available.⠀
⠀
Thanks for reading!⠀
Stay healthy and safe!

Greetings CoCo Family,⠀
As you have probably heard, it has been mandated that all restaurants switch to take-out and delivery service only. We wholeheartedly support this decision, as we understand that social distancing is the key to slowing down the spread of coronavirus and preventing our medical and emergency systems from being overwhelmed. Unfortunately, that means that Coffee and Cotton will be closing our doors to the public starting this afternoon at 4pm. We will reopen when we are advised that it is safe and wise to do so. ⠀
⠀
If you'd like to support us through this difficult time please consider purchasing an e-gift card: link in bio⠀
⠀
We are researching ways to support our team who will be most impacted by this closure, and will let you all know if there are ways that you can help.⠀
⠀
Thank you for your continued support! We hope that you all stay healthy and well during this unprecedented event, and that we'll be seeing you again sooner than later!

Important Coronavirus Update:⠀
After monitoring the Coronavirus news overnight we’ve come to the conclusion that it is our responsibility to be proactive leaders in our community. It is clear that the recommendations to practice social distancing and to avoid large gatherings is essential to slowing the spread of the infection, which is the key to avoiding the overwhelm on the medical system that many countries are now facing.⠀
⠀
This being said, we also acknowledge the hardships that small businesses and entrepreneurs will face as more and more events and spaces close. Our hope is to do our best to remain open when it is safe and wise to do so. ⠀
⠀
It is clear that the situation will change, and that we will need to be constantly monitoring, communicating and adjusting plans. For now, this is our plan for the weekend:⠀
⠀
-The Luna Theater and Dows will be closed Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday.⠀
⠀
-A Little Bazaar will be cancelled on Saturday⠀
⠀
-The Farm Market will run as a limited event. We understand that the farmers and producers rely heavily on market sales, and that many of our customers depend on the food they purchase on Sundays. We will re-evaluate this decision daily and work on precautions and sanitary procedures as well.⠀
⠀
-Coffee and Cotton will remain open. We will expand on our serve safe practices with extended sanitization of surfaces. We will have to continuously monitor this decision as well.⠀
⠀
-The Shops will be open based on their own individual preferences. Please check in with your favorite shops to see what hours they will be keeping.⠀
⠀
These actions will take us through the weekend, after which we will have more information to base our next series of decisions off of.⠀
⠀
We will keep you all posted. Thank you for your continued support!

Greetings, friends of Mill No. 5! ⠀
⠀
We want to assure you all that we are closely monitoring the Coronavirus situation and are taking precautions to improve sanitization within our operations. At this point in time we plan to continue business as usual, but will be sure to take any recommendations from the city and state government as they are issued. ⠀
⠀
The City has just released a statement, including the following:⠀
"Governor Baker and the Department of Public Health have not recommended the cancellation of public events including sporting events, concerts and other similar gatherings at this time. Elderly individuals and people with known health conditions are being urged to avoid such events. The City of Lowell is advising local establishments to advise their patrons accordingly."⠀
⠀
We will keep you posted as the situation develops, but for now we ask that you keep calm, wash your hands, and continue to support the small businesses who rely on your patronage!

A note for our Saturday and Sunday visitors:⠀
In order for us to make sure our guests' experience is the best it can possibly be, we will now be closing the gate to Middlesex Street on event days. While we understand that having the gate open allows for convenient access when parking on Middlesex St, we also want to make sure our visitors have a safe and clean entrance to our building. Unfortunately at this time we are not able to guarantee that the walkway is clear of debris and would much prefer our guests enter via Jackson Street.⠀
We hope that in the future the space is better maintained and can be reopened as an access point to Mill No. 5.⠀
Thank you for understanding, and we hope to see you soon!

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK

Mill No 5. - Lowell, Massachusetts

Mill No. 5 is a lot of things and it’s constantly changing. According to our blurb we are: An indoor streetscape of salvaged storefronts with great coffee, movie theater, farmer’s market, independent shopping, and events in Lowell Massachusetts. However, that explanation only scratches the surface. Keep an eye out for the full story to be added soon.
