“I think the people, when they see the cones closed off, that they get kind of confused on where they're supposed to park," she said."So essentially, we probably saw like a depreciation by a half, about the amount of people we had come to see us.”“Our fiber cord was running through the street, they knocked that out. So we weren't able to take card payments for a week and a half," Davies explained.
