Prince William Crackdown Worries Some Merchants
Tagged: restaurant, VirginiaPosted on: October 21st, 2007“Money wire transfers at Olazabal Travel’s offices in Manassas and Woodbridge have dropped 80 percent, to about two per week, since July. The lunch crowd at El Pulgarcito, a Salvadoran restaurant in Woodbridge, has declined by about one-third over the same period. Todos Market is opening a new store in Dumfries but won’t focus exclusively on Hispanics because, its owner said, it is no longer able to count on their numbers to grow.
“People are just scared and don’t know what the resolution will mean for them, so they are leaving or going out as little as possible,” said Jose Merino, the owner of two El Pulgarcito restaurants in Woodbridge.”*
