Long queues have been forming outside some Penneys stores, as their shops reopen for the first time since March.
Some people have been standing on the street since 3 o'clock this morning to get a first look at the stores, which have been redesigned for social distancing.

Changing rooms and makeup counters are closed and Perspex glass has been installed at tills.
Primark CEO, Paul Marchant, said;
"While it might take a little longer to get into store, once inside, customers will find all their favourite Penneys products and plenty of choice as usual. We have worked hard to make sure that clear signage and extra help will be there to guide them through the changes we have made to allow for social distancing."
16 stores with street access have opened today. The remaining 20 outlets located in shopping centres will open next Monday, 15th June.
