WASHINGTON, Pa. Restaurants that are complying with a statewide ban on indoor dining are drawing a line in the sand on Jan. 4. That’s when the state’s restaurant shutdown is scheduled to be lifted, and many business owners say they’ll reopen their dining rooms that day even if Gov. Tom Wolf extends the restrictions as some fear.
The three-week shutdown since Dec. 12 has been a devastating blow for restaurants and bars already struggling through sluggish sales due to the coronavirus pandemic. But many owners who are following the rules by only offering takeout right now are watching as their scofflaw counterparts that have fully reopened are doing booming business.
