Small-business owners say they’re just beginning to recover from the blows of the early 2020 pandemic restrictions, the Washington Post reports. Its story cites The Flicks, an independent movie theater in Boise fighting to win back customers who’ve grown accustomed to streaming movies at home.
“The Flicks lost $900,000 in the first year alone,” The Post wrote. “Now, new economic uncertainties have co-owner Carole Skinner putting the brakes on renovation plans, which include a $100,000 investment in new seats, until she’s turning a profit again. She also wants to give longtime employees a raise but says she’s waiting until she feels the economy is on more solid ground.”
Skinner told The Post: “We’re hopeful, but we’re still in the red.”
