On July 22, Maryville’s leaders made the very hard decision to pass Ordinance 8288 requiring face coverings throughout Maryville. We applaud their leadership and fully support their steps to slow the spread of Covid-19. Effective immediately, masks or face coverings will be required to enter the Board Game Cafe. We realize that the community is very divided about this ordinance and that people are very passionate on both sides. We ask that you be courteous and respectful to our employees and our other customers by adhering to the ordinance when visiting us. Together we can and will make it through these trying times. Thank you so much for your continued support.
For more info on Ordinance 8288, visit the City of Maryville website.
