“In terms of cash flow I can keep going until the middle of May,” he said, describing how he’s relying on online orders. “After that, it will get very complicated, but you’ve got to be optimistic.”
Brussels-based chocolate maker Laurent Gerbaud works in his shop in Brussels on April 9, 2020, during a lockdown in Belgium to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus. – Gerbaud is a part of the initiative “Pas sans mon chocolat” , enabling him to receive and deliver orders despite his shop being closed due to the coronavirus lockdown.
Gerbaud managed to sell his Easter eggs and has been trying to shift his extra chocolate bars and candied fruits. Treats filled with creamy ganache will not keep fresh, so he has donated them to health workers. Nevertheless, online sales were holding up, as Belgians comfort themselves at home with sweet treats. The products of some star chocolatiers like Pierre Marcolini are now only available online.
