Many downtown Akron businesses have found themselves working to overcome yet another obstacle in the fallout of the police-involved shooting of 25-year-old Jayland Walker that has impacted their ability to meet their minimum sales requirements.
In at least the past four years business owners say there has been a major construction project in and around South Main Street that kept customers away, and then COVID hit. At that time, a number of restaurants and bars were forced to shut down for a time.
Palunes and others say the struggle is real for downtown businesses forced to shut down early when curfews were imposed. Hehgaymoo Brow at the Boiling House Restaurant in Akron says their business had finally recovered from huge losses suffered during the construction and because of COVID, but now, they say recent unrest in the city has customers shying away again.
