Semalam unker went to see a customer that run a cafe who plan to open another new restaurant. According to him, his business getting better as compare to before covid. Unker business also is better as compare to before covid. For my side, I think it got to do with covid, which encourage people to shop online as I'm in the online business. After covid, my business drop as compare to during covid, but if compare to before covid, it's better. During covid, it help to generate new leads and these new leads stay even after covid. After covid, large part of the new lead generation shift back to brick and mortar. But I think most pipu learnt to compare prices online before do their shopping.

Few of my regular F&B customer already close down.
Notice so long didn't receive order from them, so went and Google Map search for their establishments and many of their outlets show "Closed permanently".
Then open up the boss whatsapp and notice the photo already changed to a Malay lady photo, even their number changed.

Maybe they earned enough and retired? Maybe they closed down and venture into other business?

I think this is the trend, big brand are taking up all retail spaces just like what the property agent told me.
One morning one agent approach me and offer me a cheaper place to rent (single storey at some remote location that no one want to go).
She said big brand are moving in to the area I'm currently renting (Across the opposite row corner already taken up by Big Pharmacy). Landlord sure prefer to deal with big brand, can offer to pay higher rental, more stable in payment.
