With no end in sight, the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to change the items that shoppers prioritize on a regular basis. As consumers continue to spend most of their time at home, retailers will need to ensure they carry the inventory that address these needs.
The spring of 2021 is quite different than 2020 for the retail sector as COVID-19 is no longer shuttering as many stores, forcing layoffs and or triggering as many bankruptcies. But retailers still have substantial challenges ahead to make up for the pandemic's negative impact and regain customer loyalty.
