Local small businesses have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. Many have been forced to make hard and fast adjustments to stay open or in hopes of reopening in the future.
Gumby’s Pizza in San Marcos has had to rapidly adjust with creative solutions, according to owner Forrest Higdon.
“It’s been head-spinning, that’s for sure. I've always thought we were creative but this has definitely stretched the bounds of what we thought we would have to do in the beginning,” Higdon said. “Everything that we did is kind of out the window and we're facing new challenges every day. And it's been our challenge to try and find solutions to new problems that show up every day — from when we had to shut down our dining room for social distancing to anticipating sheltering in place and trying to get people to stay home and figuring out how can we help facilitate what's good for the community while still continuing to operate a business that keeps my staff employed and food on the table for everyone involved.”
