As we all know Covid-19 has provoked a huge amount of change and adaptation in the world that we live in. Many people got laid off and small businesses that were previously doing well started to experience many difficult losses from being completely shut down. For other business, however, this gave them an opportunity to adapt and thrive. For example, drive in movie theaters experienced a surge of growth in light of the pandemic. Drive in movie theaters from all across the United States experienced a 60% increase in business. Drive-ins in America started in the 1930’s and one drive in movie theater owner in California kept renewed the family business right before the pandemic hit. John Watskey<\/a> shares his thoughts on the increase in business and popular area for people when he states, “Well it gives people the ability to get out of their house and take a road trip while following the Covid-19 guidelines.” Watskey mentions how most people are comfortable just hanging out in their rooms watching Netflix and TV from there homes, however the drive in theaters help families be able to stay together and enjoy the company of one another while staying safe. This goes to show that while some businesses sufferred many losses during the pandemic, others were able to thrive and change the course of how the business functioned. While drive in movie theaters have had a huge surge in business, there are many others as well that we have adapted to live in our lives. This is a small example of how businesses are susceptible to growth and failure due to changes in the environment and the pandemic has allowed for more growth and opportunity for the entrepreneur that is willing to change and start something new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
