The owner started doing Youtube videos from inside the facility and scored big on his last ditch effort to bring in revenue when he couldn’t accept customers
The lockdowns in my state were extensive during the COVID-19 pandemic. My friend was a restaurateur and he had to close two of his locations permanently just to survive with the remaining three. It was a hard compromise to make, but at least he’s doing better now and is slowly working his way to opening another location again if the demand continues to increase like it has in recent months. He said that a lot of people are returning to in-person dining and he has regulars from before the pandemic that have already come back to show their patronage. If the food service industry can slowly rebound, I hope that means that other industries hit hard from the pandemic can as well. Another example are fitness centers and gyms, as many around the country were forced to close their doors during the worst parts of the pandemic depending on which state they were in. That’s why despite there being so much inflation right now, some gyms in my area are offering discounts on gym memberships to get people in the door. It’s a relief they survived at all, but my own favorite gym and fitness center had to close its doors for over a year and somehow managed to not go out of business altogether. The owner started doing Youtube videos from inside the facility and scored big on his last ditch effort to bring in revenue when he couldn’t accept customers. Thankfully they’re back and operating again in my city, giving people like me a chance to workout again and get healthier.
