The company said its Fairview and Houston locations will reopen on June 4 and its Austin location will reopen on June 11.

The company didn't disclose when its other locations will reopen. The theaters and restaurants, which brands include City Perch, Tanzy and The Tuck Room, have been closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the changes the reopened locations will make include pausing the blanket and pillow program, ensuring social distancing in theaters and restaurants, guiding customers through thermal readers to identify those with high temperatures and requiring team members and "encouraging" customers to wear masks in common areas.
