25. Adapting Bookstores
Bookstores used to be one of the most popular places to hope if you want some reading material. There is something special about buying a new book (also if it is used). For many people, it’s the excitement of bringing the new reading material to your bookcase. After all, you can never have too many books.
While some people still feel this way, many other people have stopped going to bookstores in 2020 and the people who run them feel it. Even chains such as Barnes and Noble have noticed a decrease in foot traffic in 2020. Of course, this was only made worse a couple of months into 2020. While some have chosen to sell online, others have looked to set up appointments. They also include hand sanitizer for when people come in and before they leave.
