Although many companies are seeing the effects of COVID-19 on their stores and businesses, small businesses in particular are having a difficult time keeping their doors open.Â
Rachel Weiner, Missouri State University alumnus, owns The Frosted Fox, an online vegan bakery. Weiner started her business in Sept. 2019 but officially opened in May 2020.Â
âWhen a small business owner gets a sale, thatâs groceries paid for, debt paid off, rent or something else,â Weiner said. âBig businesses donât do happy dances when they get sales. I can confidently say any time Iâve gotten an order or one of my friends who also owns a small business gets an order, we all get very excited and we do our happy dances.â
