As retailers attempt to pull the trigger on reopening brick and mortar in a big way, they know they have to get it right the first time. Yet so much confusion surrounds what is even possible as the corona crisis plays out. Restoring consumer confidence will require clear answers, actionable best practices, and herculean effort.
