"The downtown branch at Excellent Stores, Port-of-Spain—its longest-standing branch—will close at the end of December 2020 as the company continues to revolutionise its business model.
In a statement, the company explained that with the increased demand for online and curbside orders, Excellent Stores is upgrading its e-commerce business by repurposing and reallocating a greater amount of resources into its processes to enhance the customer experience and fulfilment processes, as well as a variety of payment options to increase its usability to a wider segment of the population.
Although many businesses are folding due to the economic shock caused by COVID-19, Excellent Stores said this was not the case."

i see some banks even remove their FOREX chart from up front because they simply not selling forex to the public.
imagine i order items in november for Christmas and get them last week even though they were in trinidad since early december
so customs had their delays PLUS charge me storage fees due to their delays
small businesses simply not going to survive. anyone paying rent gonna find it real hard to survive.
If the lockdowns worked, why would more be necessary?”

Good point
Nowadays ..
The DINER in Maraval sells a simple beef burger for $110 .
A similar beef burger in Woodbrook - Aripita Ave - $40 with a drink
And the Venes Rule with their business survival skills
To go to Maracas and eat Shark and Bake for $50 ?
Well maybe on your birthday
The reason is the exploitation of some business has come to an end.
Example : A Coffee Shop in Grand Bazaar - they sell a slice of cake 2 MM thickness for $45 !!

Yes just demand and supply, not extortion like some see it. Always did wonder how Mr chows survives with his God awful tasting food though.
