Caribbean Wave Jamaican Jerk Restaurant in Lancaster will have its rent covered for the next three months thanks to a recent donation from the Barstool Fund.
The Jamaican food restaurant at 701 E. Chestnut St. is getting $3,100 from the fund, which was set up in December by Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy to help small businesses survive the pandemic. To date, the Barstool Fund has raised more than $37 million and given money to 319 businesses.
For Caribbean Wave owner Damian Cavalo, the donation is some welcome good news after what he says has been a tough year.
âItâs been a struggle. Iâm not going to lie,â he said. âI was almost losing my business.â
