Dealers like John Frentz thought that they would get some months off after temporarily shutting down their hardware stores since the implementation of the nationwide lockdown. After Frentz closed his family hardware store, Frentz and Son’s in Royal Oak, he spent his leisure hours painting his bedroom and did some household tasks like fixed his dysfunctional door.

He also worked on certain projects during this quarantine because doing them on working days would have been difficult for him. So he cleared them out of his way. When things started coming under control, he decided to open his hardware store again and he was surprised to see the change in people’s preferences. He noticed that people have to concentrate on improving their houses. They focused on painting and doing electrical and plumbing works themselves.
