CADILLAC â While many businesses in the area still are struggling to recover from the economic disruptions caused by COVID-19, others were able to benefit from the pandemic by adapting their operations to be more in line with how consumers are spending their money in the 21st Century.
Even before the coronavirus arrived in the U.S., Jason Towers, owner of Willow Market and Meats, and the attached Primos BBQ, said he noticed trends in the industry moving toward an increase in online ordering and a general preference for more convenient ways of purchasing items.
Given that the pandemic naturally made people wary of being in congested places, such as large grocery stores, the trends he noticed pre-COVID sped up significantly as more customers began ordering online and opting for curbside pickup.

CADILLAC â A Grand Rapids-based liquor distillery is in the process of opening their newest location in Cadillac.
Long Road Distillers has entered into a lease agreement to use the space at 412 S. Mitchell St., which is the site of the former Better Bodies Health and Fitness Center.
Kyle VanStrien, who co-owns Long Road Distillers with business partner Jon O Connor, told the Cadillac News that they re hoping to be open by June 15, although that will be contingent largely on how long it takes the Liquor Control Commission to process their license application to sell spirits at the site.
In the meantime, VanStrien said big changes are in store for the site over the next couple of weeks, as crews get the building ready for customers.
