The inevitable Price Increase, has arrived. 2020 was an unprecedented year full of difficulties and changes. As we make our way through 2021, small businesses are continuing to adapt and adjust to these new times we are living in.
The Dreaded Price Increase
As many of us have surely noticed, prices are increasing across the board in most everything from fuel to groceries to building materials. Several factors are driving these increases. Covid-19 has caused manufacturing and production facilities to shut down for weeks at a time causing interruptions in stock. This has caused less stock to be available to meet demands and raises the price on stock that is available. As more employees continue to work from home, the stress on shipping and freight cost has increased driving the cost of shipping materials higher. Building materials are in more demand than ever now that more people are working from home and taking on home improvement projects. In addition, minimum wage increases have forced employers to raise the price of items to cover the additional payroll expenses.

Local businesses are the heart of communities. As we continue to move forward in reopening and begin to return to a semblance of normalcy.
