The coronavirus pandemic and its accompanying economic crisis has brought new life to some small businesses in the southeastern Estonian town of Võru, and even led to the creation of new ones, primarily cafes and stores, often set up by people who lost their previous livelihood as the pandemic spread, ETV news show "Aktuaalne kaamera" (AK) reported Saturday evening.
Manager of the Karamelli kohvik Kristina Noorsalu told AK that the crisis brought favorable opportunities to start and expand her business.
She said: "In fact, our dream had been for a very long time to create a lovely place in the city of Võru. As soon as we stepped in here, we saw it, and thought 'oh, this is the place' and did it. We thought that if carry it out it with our heart and soul, people will find their way to us."
