Road to Recovery: Island retailers trying to adjust as COVID-19 changes shopping habits

As Vancouver Island’s retail sector attempts to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic – working under new health restrictions and trying to pay rent and staff – many customers are turning to online shopping or shopping like they used to.

It’s left retailers with many questions about the future and whether they can survive. In this episode of Road to Recovery, CHEK’s Joe Perkins chats with Laura Day, store manager of Migration Boutique, about the impacts of COVID-19 on the retail sector and the move to online shopping.

The segment “Road to Recovery” is done in partnership with Douglas Magazine.
