Philadelphia Business Owners balancing the books from the papal weekend. For many it was a great effect for their bottom line. For others, not so much. Jennifer joyce is looking at this from center city, hi there, jen. Reporter good morning, chris and lauren. A a the lot of Business Owners were prepared for a boost. They loaded up on merchandise and now they are forced to either stockpile these boxes, all off the left overs like cases of water at this center it i star bucks, however, we did find one business that is claiming overwhelming success, famous petes pizza on 21st treat in sent iser city lines like they have never even before. Nearly a thousand order on sunday. It is hard to say why this business did so well and so many others incurred major losses. Maybe the convenient of the quick slice of pizza without spending lots of money. We dont necessity for sure but this owner is happy while others are not. We wereling slices outside that helps people come in the store and we were selling it outside as well. People were lined up outside. They were lined up from here to walnut street. We had almost a thousand order on sunday, over 600 jumbo pizza or slices. Nothing i have ever seen before. I was expecting it to be double, triple the normal weekend and instead it was down, 30 or 40 percent from a normal weekend. I know diner near my enter city store they bought 7,500 worth of extra foot, rented a refrigerated truck and had to throw a ton of stuff away. So swiss house bakery situation seemed more of the normal. Businesses who spent money, more than usual to stock up on extra food and drinks find it went to waste. Customers say the restaurant and social scene was bad, it was empty, disappointing. A lot of Business Owners took to social media admitting that the popes visit was incredible but felt that the city could make it easier to get around the blockades, the street closures. All of that they say force add lot of people out of town, lauren and chris good the story doesnt stop there, jenny eyes. City is now reflecting on what worked and what didnt during the historic weekend. City leaders say this massive event was mostly a success. Estimated figures though that just about 860,000 people turned out for the the event on the ben franklin parkway on unday that is way down from the predicted million. Remember we aid 1. 5 million would be there. Mayor nutter is blaming news reports that suggested attendance would face massive inconvenience for scaring people away. I think, you know, the true Brutal Honesty is that i think in so many instances the reporting of the information that we put out, because we dont write the stories. We give out information. I think the reporting on any number of aspects of this was detrimental to the mind set of many philadelphians and others. Okay. We will take the blame but others point to the lack of communication and coordination from government agencies, so they are pointing the finger back at the mayor. He is also promising to look into reports of the massive backups at metal detectors that cause sod people to miss that historic mass. The mayor said in so many instances, the reports were wrong. Id like to see him tell us where we were wrong in reporting what he told us. All right.
