  • a covid consequence in retail

    From August Abolins@1:153/757.21 to All on Wed Feb 10 00:24:00 2021
    Hello All!

    It came to my attention just a couple days ago, that there is at
    least one covid consequence affecting a local business in my
    town.

    I drove by on my way home yesterday and took this shot:

    "Everything Must Go Including Fixtures" - probably means that
    they have no plans to recover in the business.

    My province is easing restrictions this week, but the news comes
    much too late for some.

    I am not sure what other businesses in my town are borderline
    banckrupt.

    This outcome wouldn't be necessary if only the banks and
    creditors could synchronize the reduction of economic activity
    with their own expectations too.

    Yeah. :( I probably set the link to expire in about 1 month at
    the susepaste.org service.

    Didn't notice the date.

    There was a bunch (207) old mail in my BAD area too. So this one was to young to be caught by the "old-mail-detector", and to old to remain in my dupe database, so it was tossed into the area... :-(

    That explains it...

    It was an outside shot of a building with some "CLOSING"
    signage. It was a clothing/gifts shop.

    The owner decided to close amidst the slowdown of retail. In
    this particular case, he was the owner of the building too - so
    he could capitalize on the retail sales boom at this time, I
    guess. But the building had been sold, and his deadline to
    vacate was March 31. Not sure what is destined to be in that
    building (originally a church) next.

    I think I remember it now...
