Okay Facebook friends, we need ideas! People have been SOOOOO kind that we feel like we can reopen again... when they give us the go-ahead. So we're brainstorming what to do when it's safe to reopen. Here are some questions: 1. Do we still serve hand-dipped ice cream and coffee? Would you buy it, considering the risk? 2. If we still serve ice cream, would you like outdoor seating instead of indoor? Would you use it?... 3. Do we only allow one or two people indoors at a time? 4. If we open up the back warehouse for the marketplace, would you rent a space? (It's a more ventilated area.) Do you know someone who would? 5. If the marketplace offers farmer's market items (fruits and veggies) would you feel safe buying? 6. What would make you feel safe in a retail space going forward? 7. What about recurring events like Coffee & Jam and Trivia Nights? Yes or no? 8. If we no longer do events, how do we keep people engaged? I'm open to ideas! Please share and discuss.
