I’ve spent the past several weeks looking at the challenges to retail caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and exploring some innovative ways for retailers to survive and thrive in this new normal.
You see, people are looking for a retail hero right now.

You might as well put up signs around your store saying “Fallout Shelter.”
