Small independent retailers are among those reopening their doors on Friday for the first time since Christmas.
Click and collect services have been allowed for some of that period.
Bookshop owner Jenni Doherty says reopening is like "being excited for going on holiday, but you're maybe a bit nervous about flying".
Jenni, whose shop is in Londonderry, told BBC News NI there was an element of "anticipation but trepidation" as business owners get ready to reopen after being closed for so long.
