GREENFIELD, WI — Shopping at Penzeys Spices, a Wisconsin-based retailer with a location in Greenfield, will be online only until Wisconsin COVID-19 hospitalization rates go down, the retailer announced Monday. "We've closed our stores to in-store shopping until hospitals and intensive care units see a return to more manageable occupancy rates," owner Bill Penzey said in a statement. He also thanked customers for supporting a shift to pick-up orders, and offered a deal that can be used online: buy one gift box and get another one for free. Penzeys has 12 locations in Wisconsin and is based in Wauwatosa. Wisconsin set a record for the hospitalization of coronavirus patients: 1,903 COVID-19 patients occupied state hospital beds Monday, Wisconsin Hospital Association data showed. Some 3,883 new COVID-19 cases were reported in Wisconsin Sunday, Wisconsin Department of Health Services data showed. The seven-day average for new cases in the state was 5,392 new cases per day. Wisconsin hit another coronavirus milestone on Saturday, with 1,005,150 total cases since the pandemic emerged in the U.S. in March 2020.
