and social distancing… and that’s not their only challenge. “We just want our customers back,” said Marilyn Harper, owner of Happily Ever After boutique, a children’s resale shop on Madison’s west side. “Our business is open, but our business is struggling.” Harper says more than half of her customers are grandparents, and the rest are parents with young children: two groups that have been cautiously quarantined during the pandemic. “We’re only doing 25% of what our sales used to be,” she explained. While one year has gone by, only three months of revenue has come in for Harper. And she is certainly not alone.
