I'd be kind of surprised if a few companies didn't capitalize on the opportunity to set up tents/displays, offer give-aways, etc. given the anticipated turn-out. My business-brain thinks it would be been a unique, no-brainer of an opportunity for exposure to those that cater products/services to women ... kind of like how the Superbowl always sparks new businesses, ads, etc.
No, not one, though many businesses on the march route remained open and actively selling.
My favorite part was the way the crowd swelled in support of micro groups that passed along the sidelines of the march. BLM and Native Americans, chanting or beating drums. Even the tiny anti-choice group that came out in protest of our march was greeted with shouts of "we love you too!", or "no hate, just love!" Perhaps it was the presence of kids that made us all be our best selves, after all, they're the ones who need this the most.
