Obvious Shirts founder Joe Johnson had his storefront’s Opening Day scuttled when MLB canceled Cubs Opening Day.
So’s this: The longer MLB’s lockout delays the start of the season as players and owners haggle over a new labor contract, the more Wrigleyville businesses take another gut punch to their businesses on the heels of two years of pandemic-related losses.By the nature of his online sales base, Johnson has some hedge against the more severe financial hardships faced by local businesses such bars and restaurants — many of which count on the baseball season for 70 percent or more of their revenues.
“We’re lucky we’re also online, but we’re putting a lot of our time and efforts in getting this rocking and rolling. So, yeah, it’s going to affect business pretty substantially.” That was supposed to be April 4 against the Cardinals. Now it doesn’t even show up on the team’s website, wiped from the schedule.
