We maybe had two people coming in a day, said Rainieri.
They closed after a few days, temporarily laying off their three employees. In June, they reopened and were able to bring one employee back. They brought a second employee back in February.
They got some help from the Paycheck Protection Program, but given that even pre-pandemic they had just three employees, they were limited in how much they could receive from the payroll-based program. We re a very small business, said Rainieri. So obviously with less employees we have less overhead, but we also got less assistance because PPP was based on payroll, and because our payroll was so small the amount we received was small.
