More than 70 percent of consumers would feel comfortable visiting brick-and-mortar retail stores within two months of the end of the national emergency, according to an April 10-12 survey and an April 24-26 survey, each of 1,004 U.S. adults, that Engine Insights conducted on behalf of ICSC Research.
