Tiffany's in Westport boarded up their storefront, and Lulu Lemon in Greenwich was also boarded up.
The Lulu Lemon in Westport also boarded up its shop ahead of a demonstration in town earlier this week, but has since removed the boards.
State Senator Will Haskell tweeted at both businesses saying in part, "this is not productive. Our community is engaging in an honest, overdue and peaceful conversation about race."
In an Instagram post on Sunday Lulu Lemon says it will donate $100,000 to the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
Tiffany Benincasa of C. Parker Gallery on Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich says their location will not board up.
"Yes, I do recognize I'm in close proximity to the train station, but I hope anybody who comes up and wants to come up here in peace. "For me as a small gallery, I appreciate that opportunity to bring a creative safe spot into a community that brings together different voices so people listen."
