HEALTH & SAFETY MEASURES:

We hope you are all as excited as we are for the Heroes Giant-Size Charlotte Mini-Con coming up this November 6-7!

After much consideration, paying close attention to state and local guidelines, and in an effort to make our event safe and enjoyable for everyone in attendance, we will be requiring masks, and proof of an authorized Covid-19 vaccination, or a valid negative test result within 72 hours of entry.

This includes all ticket holders, vendors, artists, and staff. This will be checked on both days of the convention, and during vendor set up on Friday, November 5. Those who cannot produce either a proof of vaccination or a negative test result will not be allowed entry to the show.

Heroes will also require all convention attendees to wear a visible mask that covers the nose and mouth while inside the premises of the Charlotte Convention Center. (Costumed attendees must also wear a visible protective mask covering the nose and mouth.) This is in accordance with the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners directive placed on 8/31/2021, which requires that masks be worn by all individuals indoors. This covers all areas of the convention center, including the entrances, concourses, convention halls, and loading docks during the event, as well as hours of set up and break down.

We ask that all attendees continue to be mindful of social distancing during this event. It is important to note that we will follow any and all updates to local Covid policies. Any updates in our policy will be immediately posted to our website and social media.

We appreciate your understanding, and look forward to a great Giant-Size Charlotte Mini-Con, and things getting back to normal as we head toward the 40th Anniversary of the Heroes Convention June 24-26, 2022.

Saturday, November 6: 10AM-6PM

Our entire staff is fully vaccinated and will be wearing masks until further notice as well.

Masks are now optional for all vaccinated customers!

If you have received your COVID-19 vaccine, then the CDC no longer recommends wearing a mask!

Our entire staff is now fully vaccinated, and we hope that you are as well!

With this exciting development, along with the CDC’s current safety recommendations, we will no longer require customers to wear a mask while shopping in our store.
We also fully support anyone’s choice to continue wearing a mask! If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask please continue to do so.

If you have not been vaccinated we ask that you consider wearing a mask while shopping in our store for your own safety, as well as in consideration for those around you. We have disposable masks available for anyone who would like to wear one.

We have also increased our capacity to 100% at this time.

SAFE SHOPPING GUIDELINES

People are getting vaccinated which is a TREMENDOUS STEP in the right direction!

Things are slowly inching back toward some degree of “normal”,
or at least toward a “new normal”.
Almost everyone on our staff has been vaccinated,
and we encourage you to do the same!

We are as excited as anyone to get back to that sweet pre-pandemic life, but we will continue to observe the following safety precautions as we begin to ease up on restrictions within our store.

We understand that Governor Cooper lifted the Mask Mandate for North Carolina earlier today.

However, at this time, we would like to exercise caution before we lift the mask requirement in our store.

Heroes will continue to maintain the following Safety Protocols for a safe shopping experience!

—

• We ask that EVERYONE (including staff) continue to wear a mask while shopping or working inside of our store.
  Even if you’re only coming in for ONE ITEM.
  No mask = NO ENTRY.
  If you do not have a mask, one can be provided to you. 

  We understand some of you will not want to wear a mask and, while we understand that is your personal preference, you will not be permitted in our store without a mask at this time.
  We appreciate your patience, understanding and consideration for everyone’s safety at this time. If you do not want to wear a mask, or if you would prefer not to come inside the store until we have lifted our mask policy, we are happy to arrange shipping for books.)

  This number includes employees. 
  We will increase this number toward “Full Capacity” over the next few weeks as long as there are no surges in COVID cases in our state.
   
• We will continue to provide hand sanitizer for you to use upon entering and exiting the store.  
   
• Please be respectful of social distance while in our store.

This will also help us prevent wait-times for others if the store is at capacity.
