The Coronavirus pandemic has brought some food service businesses to a halt. Others have altered services to adhere to national and state guidelines. Our local small businesses depend upon community support for sustainability. It’s important to support them during this time.

“A no ‘dine-in’ requirement is exactly what’s needed to slow down the spread of this virus,” said Sierra Davis of Brickside. “We are depending on carry-out and delivery options to make up for business during these uncertain times. Not only is it important for businesses, but for our employees. Our staff is what makes Brickside great and we all need you now more than ever to keep us around. Please consider supporting small business during this chaotic time. It really goes beyond the company itself.”

Price Cutter grocery on East Main appreciates customers’ patience as the store strives to offer needed items.
“We’re at the mercy of the warehouses,” said Assistant Manager JC Davis. “Our hands are tied as to what we can provide. We’re getting very little toilet paper, if any, and having pretty much the same problems other stores are having. As to other items, we just have to wait and see.”
Starting March 22, the store will close at 9 p.m. rather than 10 p.m. daily. The shortened day will help with scheduling issues and allow store personnel to properly clean and disinfect the store, as well as restock the shelves.
