PPP Retail Member Store Questions
Joan Wronoski, Bryn Mawr Hospital Gift Shop, Bryn Mawr, PA
Do you have some recommendations for cloth masks that can be sold in hospital gift shops?
Joe Bigelow, Community Health Network Jasmine Gift Shops, Indianapolis, IN
What kind of changes do you anticipate making once the stay-at-home orders are lifted? As a gift shop leader, I feel like we’re pretty exposed so I’m thinking about steps I can take to protect staff and customers when we’re given the ok to reopen. I would imagine there are many others in our field who are considering the same kinds of things and I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
Bev Craig, Providence AK Medical Center Gift Shop, Anchorage, AK
Do you have experience putting your gift shop on-line? If so, please share the details and we will post in our next update to help other PPP Retail Member Stores get on-line.
