To ensure that our favorite restaurants, furniture stores and bookshops are still there for us after the crisis, we are now simply shopping online. The list of our best Swiss online stores can be found here.
Nobody can say exactly how long all this will take – with all the stores closed and us working from home. But what about the small boutiques and stores that characterize our cityscape and make the districts, squares and streets what they are? Meeting places and social contact points for many, livelihoods for their owners. Everyone can do their bit and order from the specialist electronics store three streets away, the charming flower store around the corner or smaller bookshops instead of the online giant. This is what neighborhood help looks like.
The list is not complete! Operators of restaurants, stores etc. are welcome to contact us (marina@faces.ch) and we will add them.
