After a long, grim year shrouded by the coronavirus, brick-and-mortar stores in the U.S. have mostly adapted to the mask-wearing, social-distancing normalcy. This unprecedented retail apocalypse has also required physical retailers to rethink and prepare for a post-COVID era where in-store shopping will never be the same. In China, where businesses have reopened, stores have grappled with the same challenges: sales declines, ineffective engagement and new contactless demand.
