Like many other companies LifeWay has to focus on a new strategic plan to not only stay in business, but to continue to serve customers.
President of LifeWay, Thom Rainer said, “We will be transitioning many of those resources from our LifeWay stores to digital channels. The good news is that we will be better prepared to meet the future. The challenging news is that some of our stores will have to close.
