Dr. David Melnick prepares to load firewood into the trunk of his car Wednesday outside the Ace Hardware store at Hilldale Shopping Center. His trunk is also filled with groceries from Metcalfe's Market.
The nearly 200,000-square-foot J.C. Penney store at West Towne Mall was open Wednesday but had few customers. The majority of the businesses at the mall were closed.
Irv Hirschfeld, a co-owner of Morgan Shoes at Hilldale Shopping Center, said it was important for his business to remain open Wednesday as his customers have come to expect it. Business was slow but he had one customer drive from Tomah to pick up a pair of specialized shoes.
