Running a Family Owned Business During a Pandemic
Written by Gina Schlegel on April 24, 2021
Back in March of 2020 when shutdowns were first being announced Gwen Rosenberg owner of Popped! explained the fear of if her business would be next to shut down. The coronavirus pandemic was proven to be difficult on all businesses, especially locally owned ones. Rosenberg is the owner of Popped! in Kent along with the Ravenna location which was recently opened back in August of 2019. Popped! has been in Kent since 2012 when Acorn Alley was first built.
When Governor DeWine asked for all non-essential businesses to close, Rosenberg made the difficult decision to close both of her locations for a little under two months.
