The COVID-19 pandemic was responsible for closing thousands of brick-and-mortar stores in 2020. More people shopped online out of fear that they might contract the coronavirus from somebody else around them.
However, we are in a different place today. Vaccinated people are anxious to get out of the house and shop at stores in person once again. They miss social interactions and the experience of shopping at brick-and-mortar stores. And now that government restrictions have been lifted on stores in most states, it looks like in-person shopping will see growth in 2021.
Should you start a brick-and-mortar store this year? Here are the top three reasons why brick and mortar stores are worth starting now.
1) Less Competition
There are fewer brick-and-mortar storefronts right now because of all the closings and bankruptcies last year. If you open a brick-and-mortar store right now, you’ll have less competition in the marketplace. More customers will notice your store as a result.
2) Versatility
Your brick-and-mortar store doesn’t have to be in-person only. Set up an online store dedicated to your brick-and-mortar business. You can use the online store to sell the items that are for sale in your physical storefront. That way, you can reach more customers and prepare for the next pandemic if it ever strikes again.
3) Great Deals on Wholesale Items
Wholesalers are anxious to obtain more business clients again. They currently have discounted wholesale prices on their inventory. For this reason, there is no better time to start a brick-and-mortar store than right now.
