Local businesses are the bones of any community, but more than that, they are the flavor and culture of the people. Nationwide shutdowns trying to minimize the spread of COVID-19 have impacted many such businesses, forcing some to close their doors forever. That’s why for the next few weeks, the Fannin County Leader would like to recognize some of the businesses that make Fannin County one of a kind. We’ve asked some local business owners and managers to talk about how COVID-19 has affected their company, and about creative measures they have taken to beat the virus.

Grijalva How has your business coped during the COVID-19 shutdown? Though interior dining wasn’t allowed, we were still able to provide a takeout service for our loyal customers, and we were very blessed to be able to stay open in this capacity. Our crews were cut down each shift from full restaurant to takeout only, but we made sure to balance out the hours so everyone on staff could earn a paycheck, and a lot of us spent the extra time off at home with our families. What is something good that’s come from the shutdown? We did a small renovation on the kitchen, with new paint, interior siding, shelving, and appliances. How will you be moving forward now more businesses are opening up? We can’t wait to have the dining room open again and

Gail misses hosting chalk painting workshops, and the shows she and Bruce usually attend have all been canceled, but they are fighting the virus by getting an online store set up for customer convenience, and they provide curbside pickup as well. Gail has stayed busy by bringing in new merchandise and keeping everything clean and wiped down. Thank you for supporting your local establishments!
