While many small businesses in Ann Arbor have struggled to stay afloat during the coronavirus pandemic, Patel said Shalimar Restaurant has thrived thanks to high volumes of takeout orders and the closure of Main St. to allow for outdoor dining. “The weekend street closure was greatly appreciated and overall we did good as expected,” Patel wrote A4 via email. The new shop -- Perfumes & Gifts by Shalimar -- will sell designer candles and perfumes, bath and body products, occasional cards, artisan crafts and more. Perfumes & Gifts by Shalimar is at 305 S. Main St.
