Those itching to get out on a shopping spree were delighted when non-essential retailers opened their doors on Monday (June 15).
Many of Kent's shopping destination reopened to customers for the first time since March this week.
And while brands at the likes of the Ashford Outlet are starting to welcome back shoppers, not everywhere is open yet.
And shopping at the centre will be slightly different to what it was like pre-coronavirus lockdown.

Centre manager Peter Corr said: "Following the UK Government’s latest update on Tuesday, June 9, Ashford Designer Outlet has re-opened under reduced opening hours from 10am to 6pm.
"The safety and welfare of our customers, brand partners and employees remain paramount and our re-opening is subject to any further Government regulations and guidelines. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates accordingly.
"We can confirm that many of our food and drink partners re-opened on Monday, June 15 with restaurants and cafes offering takeaway-only services.
"Our toilet facilities including baby changing are open, however, our children’s play area remains closed in accordance with government guidelines."

Safety rules for shoppers
Wearing a face covering is not a mandated requirement in the centre but it is recommended if you can.
Current UK Government guidance states, “If you can, wear a face covering in enclosed public spaces where social distancing isn’t possible and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet”.
The social distancing and safety measures the Outlet is taking are in line with the most up-to-date advice from local health authorities and in accordance with Government guidelines. This includes managing visitor numbers to regulate footfall and the introduction of socially distanced queuing systems.
Contactless payments are also encouraged.
