Retailer sentiment improves as store reopenings near
Retailers have become more optimistic about how long the coronavirus pandemic will disrupt business as they prepare to reopen stores at the start of next month.
Among non-food retailers, 24% believed material disruption to their business would last less than six months the latest Deloitte Retail Industry Sentiment Survey showed. Last week only 6% thought that would be the case. Among grocers, 33% the figure rose to 33% from zero a week ago.
