As vaccines become more widely available across the U.S., people are testing the limits of what they’re comfortable with when it comes to activities they once took for granted.

Department stores saw a 13% increase in foot traffic in March 2021 compared with March 2020, while jewelry stores saw a 46% increase during this time. GroundTruth
