"A two-year-old Mount Pleasant restaurant that had just begun turning a profit before the pandemic, then pivoted quickly to strong to-go sales and survived thanks in part to a Paycheck Protection Program loan. Leadership kept the business afloat and rehired most staff, but the establishment also became a site of the era’s tensions — from fights over mask-wearing with customers to the tragic loss of a dedicated general manager who fell ill after enforcing safety measures and ultimately died." - Jenny G.
