The owner of a local catering company says if the strike continues for long, it could be a make-or-break situation for a business like his: 'I don't know how to prepare for it. We didn't prepare for it.'
With writers on picket lines halting production across Hollywood, Perry Santos, owner of Well Done! Catering is getting worried about business.He launched his company just after the last writers' strike in 2007-2008 and scored "American Idol" as his first gig. More than a decade later, his company averages about 10 TV shows per day. Now, they're down to three shows and on Thursday, they'll only have two shows.
The strike is also impacting other small businesses such as camera rental equipment companies and costume stores. Saidy remembers the last WGA strike, which lasted more than 100 days. The California economy lost roughly $830 million in retail sales.
