Take-out and Pick-up Zones Added Throughout Downtown Memphis
In response to the growing challenges facing our local restaurants, the City of Memphis and the Downtown Memphis Commission (DMC) have developed a creative strategy to help the public more easily support these businesses. Together, the City of Memphis and the DMC have identified and bagged meters throughout Downtown to serve as temporary parking for curbside pick-up and take-out.
“Accessible Curbside Pick Up is going to be a lifeline for not only our Downtown Restaurants,” says DMC Board Chair and Majestic Grille owner, Deni Reilly, “but will enable our community to continue to receive restaurant-quality meals to enjoy at home with their families.”
Staring Tuesday, March 17, 2020, the City and the DMC bagged 50 meters and identified another 15 spaces in multi-space zones throughout Downtown to be temporarily designated as spaces for pick-up and take-out orders from local restaurants.
For a growing list of Downtown restaurants that are offering pick-up, take-out, or delivery see below.
“We are so thankful to have a City administration committed to fast-action and solutions,” said Jennifer Oswalt, DMC president and CEO. “We are thankful for their partnership and leadership.”
The DMC will continue to work in the best interest of our community and to support our local government in their efforts to deter the spread of COVID-19. We will also continue our support of our local businesses as we all navigate these unprecedented challenges.
