After spending a year perfecting the art of making piñatas to help her Rogers Park shop stand out, Reyna Gonzalez decided to open her business in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
Her store, Dulceria La Fiesta Inc., opened in July, and she’s remained in business, though sales haven’t taken off like she expected. She has survived without help from loans or grants, and she recently started delivering groceries through third-party mobile apps to bring in extra income.
