It’s been well-documented over the past 10 months how the spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus has affected nearly every business in one way or another, especially the small local businesses that our friends and neighbors run. From “mom and pop” stores, to local drinking spots, to hospitals and assisted living facilities, COVID-19 turned the world upside down forcing many businesses to either make dramatic changes, or close down all together. Restaurants, of course, were no exception and in fact may have taken the biggest hit of any industry worldwide. Sweetwater County eateries, like many others across the U.S., closed dining rooms, changed cleaning protocols, and offered delivery and takeout options in the first months of the pandemic just to keep business flowing.
