I hope you applied to the SBA loan program. The first thing I would be doing is changing my marketing programs you must keep your name out there even if there isn’t any business at this You must have a plan in place.

I have not received a dime from any part of the government. I feel specialty stores with 2000 sq ft stores should be opened with 3 people in the store with proper masks and distance or by appointment.
