Shopping Safely in the Charlotte Stores this Season

We’ve polled several of our favorite CLT boutiques to confirm their safe holiday shopping protocols. It’s possible to both be safe / slow the spread AND support local! Please join us as we shop small in CLT the entire 2020 holiday season.

The health and safety of our customers and workers is Abode’s top priority. We require all patrons and employees to wear a mask and practice social distancing. Our occupancy is reduced to 10 people at a time and we happily provide curbside pickup or free shipping to our wonderful customers.


  • Face coverings are required to enter the store and for the duration of your visit. If you don’t have a face covering, we’ll provide you one, complimentary.
  • 6 steps between clients on the escalator
  • One family per elevator ride
  • Contactless, curbside pick-up
  • Fitting room disinfection after every use
  • Temporary halt to makeup tutorials and product testing
  • Foot coverings for shoe try-on

We want to make sure our customers and employees feel safe here at Paper Skyscraper, so along with limiting capacity to 25% of the state mandate, we’ve teamed up with the folks at Roby Services to install an in-duct air purification system called the REME HALO. This system kills up to 99% of bacteria, mold and viruses. REME HALO provides hospital grade air to every cubic inch of our store. It kills 99% of germs on a surface and reduces sneezegerms by 99% in the time it takes the sneeze to reach 3 feet. We also feel good about supporting the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund, who will receive a portion of all proceeds from REME HALO sales. We couldn’t be happier with the system and recommend it to all our Charlotte neighbors.

  • Ours hours are expanded to Mon-Sat: 9am-9pm Monday & Sunday 12pm-6pm to allow customers to social distance. 
  • Our staff members are required to wear masks at all times and wash their hands frequently.
  • Masks are required for customers and we have free disposable masks by the door, if you’ve forgotten yours.
  • Sanitization stations are also located throughout the store.
  • Surfaces and doors will be cleaned with extreme frequency throughout the day
  • A member of staff will be stationed to ensure social distancing is observed. 
  • You are also able to view new products on our Instagram and give the store a call at (704) 333-7130 for items to be shipped to you or for contactless curbside pickup.
