LETHBRIDGE --
The owner of Peppermint Hippo Tattoo said he will be open for business on Monday regardless of what protocols are in place.
Will Woods said he’s heard that up to 20 small business owners in Lethbridge are also planning to open on Jan. 11, although most are not making their intentions public at this time.
Woods said it doesn’t make sense to keep small businesses that had been following the rules stay closed, while big companies are open and flourishing.
“We’re frustrated and upset,” he said.
Woods added seeing so many politicians travel over the Christmas holidays was “the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
