It has been a challenging year for area businesses, but the region’s chamber of commerce representatives report that many businesses have found ways to adapt through the summer, have developed new tacts in the leaf-viewing season and are looking ahead toward Thanksgiving and Christmas.
“We check in with businesses all the time,” said Patty Brown, executive director of the Red Wing Area Chamber of Commerce. “Some say that July was the best they’ve had on record. August was similar. For September, we are getting really good reports.”
Brown said there are several factors that play into those results. Many restaurants were able to extend their services outdoors, add curbside delivery, and increase takeout orders. Other businesses have found innovative ways to keep the doors open and sales moving.
