DULUTH, MN-- Today you may start to notice red curtains going up in Duluth storefronts. This is a sign that the Northland is officially kicking off the holiday shopping season!
November 16, the annual Storefront Window Display and Lighting contest presented by the Greater Downtown Council will begin.
Duluth businesses will hang red curtains in their windows to hide assembly work in preparation for the holidays.

Holiday sales jobs shifting from storefront to warehouse and van
ALBANY — While Black Friday holiday sales are already under way, retailers are engaging in another annual ritual: Hiring people for the busy shopping season.
Employers, who often scrape to staff up for the season, also face challenges due to New York’s complicated unemployment compensation laws that can actually penalize people who work just a few hours per week.
While that’s a perennial issue, local employers say they are so far getting the workers they need to meet the holiday shopping demand, both in person and online.

City Issues Clarification on Open Storefronts Program - Norwood News
As reported by Norwood News , New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio signed Emergency Executive Order 157, which created the Open Storefronts program on October 28, 2020.

On Nov. 12, the City issued some further guidance to clarify the situation regarding the program for existing Stoop Line Stand licensees.

D.C.-based design firm Hickok Cole relocates Richmond studio to Broad Street - Richmond BizSense
Four years after entering the Richmond market, a D.C.-based design firm has planted its flag with a storefront in the heart of the city's Arts District.
Hickok Cole recently opened an office at 20 E. Broad St., relocating its Richmond studio that was previously based in the Scott's Addition Gather co-working space.
The architecture and interior design firm signed a five-year lease in late January for the nearly 1,500-square-foot space, which it had eyed since designing the Someday home décor shop next door. The two storefronts are part of a building redeveloped a couple years ago by Justin Pailey's Catalyst Development.
