Customers can continue to shop remotely by visiting the Ulta Beauty app or by going to the website at Ulta.com.

Rack Room Shoes said all of its stores are temporarily closed through March 28 to help slow the spread of COVID-19, the contagious respiratory illness caused by a new coronavirus.

“Our connections to our associates, customers, and neighbors matter to us the most,” the store said in a notice posted on its door. “We take our commitment to social responsibility very seriously, as the health and well-being of our collective community is our top priority.”
