VANCOUVER --
Moose’s Down Under has been saved from closure, at least for this month, thanks to the generosity of people online.
The Aussie-themed restaurant in downtown Vancouver has become a home away from home for Australian expats for 25 years, but the pandemic has hit the business hard.
Owner, Corina Aquino says the restaurant’s sales are down to about $300 a day, which is about 25 per cent of what business was pre-pandemic.
“Luckily I’ve got a good landlord that’s told me not to panic about the rent but eventually I’ll have to pay him back,” Aquino told CTV News. “If this goes on for much longer I don’t even know if I can afford to pay him back.”
