HENDERSON, Nev., April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The state of retail these days may seem bleak as hundreds of businesses, some very well known, either filed for bankruptcy or closed their doors for good in 2020. While the COVID-19 pandemic has been blamed for shuttering many traditional brick-and-mortar retail locations, some would say in-store shopping has slowly nose-dived since e-commerce hit the scene. According to Digital Commerce 360, e-commerce in the United States soared to the highest level ever recorded as consumers spent $861.12 billion online with U.S. merchants in 2020. But, to assume retail is dead might be a mistake, especially considering that even though online purchasing jumped, it only made up 21.3% of the $4.04 trillion total retail-spending pie (January 2021). The rest was spent in-store and a number of NUTRISHOP® locations got a piece of that pie.

To share information on projects and get feedback from Maine residents, the state Department of Transportation has begun using a system of virtual, on-demand meetings.
While the COVID-19 pandemic which for a year has reshaped how government, business and education are delivered in Maine and elsewhere has been the driving force in the wider use of technology for virtual learning and working, transportation officials say they will continue to use it when the pandemic ends.
