Virginia is reopening in Summer 2021 and retail has changed. Marc Willson of the Virginia SBDC is presenting a Guide for Retail Renewal webinar to share:
Every store, restaurant and town in Virginia should plan a reopening celebration to welcome everyone back to shopping, dining and buying local.
Your reopening event can be part of a larger town celebration such as a summer festival or 4th of July party. Or it can be an event just for your store or Main Street.
Hosting any kind of event requires planning and organization. Chances are itâs been a while since you planned an in-person event and now youâll need to consider extra details to ensure you follow social distancing, masking, and other COVID-19 safety measures.

In this session Marc Willson, Retail and Restaurant Strategist shared ideas, changes in direction, highly curated menus, new offers, and such that restaurateurs have adopted during âThe Long and Winding Roadâ of the pandemic to survive and some actually thrive. Followed by a discussion of being in the restaurant business in 2020 and beyond.
