Unfortunately most of this year has been all about Covid-19 and for small businesses it has been quite the challenge.
As more and more restrictions were implemented and we entered our first lockdown, many businesses had to temporarily close their doors including retail stores, restaurants, cafes and bars.

This issue also features profiles on Art Hide, Phil Bee Interiors and Mustard Made and we share some tips on how to get your store ready for Christmas. We talk to Cotton Candy Imports about its acquisition of CS Nugent and we have special features on Aussie Made products and ‘the new normal’ for the retail industry. As always we also have a great selection of new products for your store shelves.
