'We're in a changed society': Five Rochester businesses on reopening to a new normal

This week on the Rochester Rundown, Isaac takes a look at the path forward for small businesses across five different industries, as the state of Minnesota cautiously begins to reopen most facets of life. The five entrepreneurs quoted here, just like every other business owner in Rochester, noted the balancing act they have to successfully accomplish in the coming months: how to open up as much as possible to help bleeding bottom lines, yet implement enough safety precautions to make customers feel safe. Not enough precautions, and customers will stay away — but if there aren't enough customers in the store, the financial woes get worse. Welcome to the new normal. The thoughts and experiences of these five owners, plus new regulations out of the Police Policy Oversight Commission's meeting earlier this week and a plea from Mayo Clinic CEO Dr. Gianrico Farrugia, all included in the podcast.

As a reminder, new episodes of the Rochester Rundown can also be found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher and other leading podcast services.
