HELP SUPPORT LA CROSSE AREA BAR & RESTAURANT OWNERS
A personal letter from Joe Katchever - Founder of Sprout For Kids Foundation / Found of Pearl Street Brewery
The service industry has been devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes a lot of my friends in the bar and restaurant business, who are shut down. Many of you have tried the curb-side service and, while it helps some, others are unable to make it work. Regardless, business has ground to a halt for on-premise businesses. Lots of bars and restaurants are staying positive and using this time to do some in-house renovations while we all sit and wait for the government to help us out.
As a business owner myself, I know that while our employees can file for unemployment, business owners do not qualify. Like many of you, I have sacrificed for my business before and I am doing so again. While payroll expenses are way down, insurance, taxes, utilities and other fixed costs remain to be paid.
I founded this brewery 21 years ago and I’ve seen lots of ups and downs, but this takes the cake! I have never relied on anyone, including the government for anything for my business. Tami and I have rolled up our sleeves and built our own success year after year. But this time our hands are tied. I’ve decided not to worry. I know that if my customers survive, Pearl Street Brewery will survive, too. Many bars and restaurants will be devastated to the point where closing the doors permanently will be a very real consideration. We’re here to offer help any way we can.
