A Dayton Mall spokeswoman said the mall also will start opening its doors at 10 a.m. to accommodate those who participate in a “Mall Walker” program.

A spokeswoman for The Mall at Fairfield Commons said the newly expanded hours “will allow guests more time to safely dine, shop and enjoy the town center.”

Hours of operation for tenants may vary, so shoppers are encouraged to call ahead, mall officials said.
