Thousands of convenience stores, restaurants, and bars will fail during the pandemic. Multinational manufacturers have a chance to contain the damage.
Restaurants and traditional-trade stores are an integral part of the region’s economies and will be among its hardest-hit businesses. A coordinated effort by the public and private sectors is needed to sustain them through the crisis and help them rebuild.
