'Grand Reopening' to support you favorite neighborhood restaurants and retailers
Wireless Wednesday exclusive: Rick talks to Tatyana Mamut, Head of Product at Nextdoor, the Neighborhood Hub.
Have a listen:
From curbside pickup in Detroit and Kansas City, to cocktails-to-go in Denver and NYC, neighborhood small businesses have had to get creative to navigate these last 2 months of sheltering in place. And in the face of possibly losing their favorite local restaurants and mom and pop shops, communities have rallied together to support their favorite businesses with gift card purchases, Takeout Tuesdays and GoFundMe pages.
States are reopening and neighborhood businesses will need even more support and ongoing resources to get back on their feet.
