Many Canadian businesses thrive five years post-pandemic
Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, many Canadian businesses have adapted and continue to thrive. West Coast Seeds, for example, saw a significant increase in sales during the pandemic and has maintained growth, expanding operations to meet ongoing demand. While some businesses have succeeded, others, like Sidesaddle Bikes, are closing due to challenges in restocking and shifting consumer habits. The pandemic's impact on supply chains and changing shopping behaviors has created difficulties for many retailers. Despite these challenges, some businesses remain optimistic. They are adjusting their product offerings and focusing on customer loyalty, even as economic tensions between Canada and the U.S. threaten to increase costs.
