In years past, the most common reason a #momandpopshop closed was due to a high rent increase but since the pandemic began in 2020 it also often has to do with a lack of business due to decreased foot traffic from locals now working at home and no tourists around. We are hopeful now that NYC is opening again that the situation will change.
We have been documenting struggling shops and restaurants and have also interviewed many of the owners a as bad sharing our photos on social media and videos on our JamesandKarla YouTube channel in the hope to raise awareness of their importance to the community.
