Downfall of Local Businesses

Local Business Downfall

Many local businesses have been struggling to stay open due to low stock and consumption.

Many cargo trucks get stuck in traffic causing a delay of delivery. This would lead to more customers in the community to drive out of town to gather necessities.

Low Stock

Less Customers

Decrease in Consumption

The decrease of customers isn't just from the lack of stock but also comes from customers not having time to stop by. Many potenial customers are already running late because of traffic so they can't stop by cafes or shoe stores.
