GRANBY — In areas outside of Montreal, cars have begun to fill shopping centre parking lots and, for the first time in over a month, shoppers are leaving their homes to stock up on non-essential goods.Because art supplies, books and printing services were considered non-essential, the BuroPro Citation store attached to the Galleries St-Hyacinthe, a shopping mall, was closed until Monday.
People emerged from the store carrying canvases, some had books, while others stocked up on art supplies, readying themselves for more weeks of social distancing. Paint can be bought online, Manon Roy said while waiting in line to check out two bottles, but it’s better to come to the store in person.BuroPro has an exterior entrance.

“People are respectful of the security measures,” she said. “We warn all clients not to touch the products. But we’re an erotic boutique. It’s not here that there’s going to be the biggest rush, either.” Ricardo Robles, the owner of ÉcoLivres, a used bookstore on Granby’s main street, said books had become a hot commodity as people sought comfort while spending weeks at home.
Though the market for high-end gowns and wedding dresses has plummeted, a groundswell of support for local businesses like his — the shop has been in business more than 40 years — was bringing shoppers back.
