Long-Standing Smyrna Restaurant Faces Challenges Due to Road Work
December 7, 2024 - 10:41
A Smyrna restaurant that has been around for decades is now struggling to maintain its customer base amid extensive road construction nearby. The owner of Old South Bar-B-Q expressed concerns that the ongoing road work has significantly impacted foot traffic and accessibility to the establishment. With detours and barriers in place, many loyal customers are finding it difficult to reach the restaurant, leading to a noticeable decline in sales.
The owner highlighted that the restaurant has been a staple in the community for years, known for its delicious barbecue and welcoming atmosphere. However, the current situation has forced them to rethink their marketing strategies and explore new ways to attract customers. They are hopeful that once the road work is completed, business will return to normal. In the meantime, the restaurant is reaching out to the community for support, encouraging locals to visit and enjoy their offerings despite the construction challenges.
