Hundreds of thousands of retailers have been severely impacted by the temporary shutdowns forced in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. No group is immune to the impact of the entire population being forced to stay at home. Companies that were in a strong financial position prior to March 2020 will likely survive the initial shut down, but what follows is likely a very slow ramp back to “normal”. So many restaurants, retailers, fitness studios, family entertainment concepts, and more are not going to be able to survive an extended partial opening. Both large national brands as well as mom and pop businesses, are going to be forced to shut their doors permanently.
