Sadly, many Christmas tree shops in New York are closing down due to the financial strain caused by the pandemic. One such shop is the Tree Shed on Staten Island, which has been operating for over 50 years but has been forced to shut down due to rising costs and a decrease in customers. Another shop, Tree In The City, has also been forced to close its doors due to the economic impacts of the pandemic. While there are still some Christmas tree shops open in New York, it is likely that more will have to close down as the pandemic continues.
