Businesses, families adjust to lockdown measures
Multi-Skilled Journalist Katie Griffin The New Year is bringing another big change to Little Victories Coffee Roasters in the Glebe. Its storefront and shipping container café that had been used for takeout is now closed until the spring. “The store up front is so small that, really, the best way to continue operating was the container and with the lockdown and with the weather it just didn’t make sense,” said co-founder Andrew Bassett. Bassett says the focus has once again shifted to fulfilling online orders with free local delivery. “It’s definitely challenging not having a café open,” Bassett said. “We also have another café in the downtown core of Ottawa that’s never been open because of COVID. So, we’re fortunate that we do have the business that we do for sure.”
