Many Ontario businesses are eagerly reopening their doors to customers this Friday.
Town of Renfrew merchants included, according to Renfrew BIA chair, Christina Ouellette.
And while there’s a lot of online chatter urging people to be patient with staff, Ouellette thinks residents are sympathetic to the challenges merchants face in the scramble to reopen.
Personal care businesses like salons and tattoo parlours will have to wait for part two of the province’s reopening plan, but restaurants can welcome patrons to patios and non-essential retailers can reopen doors to shoppers.
The province expects to wait another 21 days after part one to introduce part two of its reopening plan.
