In an unexpected turn of events, downtown businesses have been grappling with a significant decline in foot traffic since Labor Day weekend, leading to staff reductions and altered operating hours. While a slight dip in sales during September is customary, the current situation is unprecedented.
Country Style Market, a staple in the area, has seen eight employees resign due to the dwindling hours and a bleak outlook for foot traffic recovery. Consequently, the market is forced to adjust its hours of operation.
Effective immediately, Country Style Market will be closed on Sundays and Mondays, opening Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. until further notice.
