These are some of the familiar, friendly faces that want to welcome you back to downtown Eau Claire. We’re taking extra steps to make your visit safe. Come to enjoy the natural beauty while visiting the businesses you love. We all built our downtown into what it is today and together we can help it continue to grow.
Before You Visit
Plan Your Trip
Check in with your stops ahead of time. Business websites or social media will have updates on hours, restrictions on number of visitors, appointments needed, or any mask/PPE requirements of customers. If window shopping, look for door signage communicating this information before you enter.
Protect Yourself & Others
Stay home if sick. Mask Up. Practice social distancing (6 feet!). Bring and use hand sanitizer. Wash your hands when you get home.
Consider curbside or online ordering
Many of our members and downtown businesses have adapted to offer online shopping and/or curbside pickup.It’s a great way to support the business while also staying safe.
Be Kind
Our businesses are working very hard to make adaptations to keep their staff and customers as safe as possible. Remember to treat each other as if we depend on one another to get through this—because we do.
Support DECI Members
Many downtown businesses are open physically and online (or both!). Make sure to check their websites, social medias, and possibly even call to find out how to best support them.

If you see the decal above on a business/organization, that means they have pledged to implement appropriate steps to provide a safe environment for customers, employees and the public at large in accordance with local City-County Health Department recommendations. This program is being facilitated through the Chippewa Valley Economic Recovery Task Force. Below is a map of participating busineses and here is a PDF with the businesses that gets updated weekly.
