Those that want to stay open are realising that it is a fruitless exercise since most stores around them are closed and the foot traffic to run a business is just not there anymore, especially in the big shopping complexes.
The latest stores to close there bricks and mortar stores include RM Williams, Cotton On, and Peter Alexander.
RM Williams has said that they have been through a lot of turmoil through their decades in business however nothing has had such a profound effect on their business that the Coronavirus.
Most stores have temporarily shut down however others have simply gone out of business expecting that they would not be able to weather the storm of the epidemic that may continue for months. This has left most shopping strips a ghost town.

Welcome to our site
Welcome to our Website, we are here to provide you with the latest news across all areas such as business, sports, politics and more. There are lots of things going on at the moment but obviously the main topic by the Corona Virus ravaging the world.
Here in New Zealand we have entered a complete lock down. Who knows how long it will last for. We are hoping to eradicate it from the community and then we will be able to ease the restrictions in place.
Considering all the borders are closed, we should be able to be virus free once the country has been cleared. This is the plan anyway, whether it can be contained by the lock down is yet to be seen. Provided New Zealanders follow the rules and maintain social distancing and staying at home, then it should be a success.
Authorities are however, saying that we will see an uptick in the cases for a little while before we see the effects of the lockdown help.
