Redwood Falls Gazette
Monday, Jan. 11, marked the first day restaurants and bars in Minnesota could once again serve customers inside, rather than rely on take-out service. Governor Tim Walz announced that expected change on Wednesday, Jan. 6.
With some help from Anne Johnson, Executive Director of Redwood Area Chamber & Tourism, the Gazette received comments from a few Redwood area establishment on their reaction and plans to return to serving customers inside their facilities.
“It is just nice to be able to reopen again, even if at only 50 percent,” said Doug Lawrenz, manager of Pizza Ranch. “It has been very trying watching some businesses flourish during these difficult times. While watching the true dine-in restaurants struggle to keep their/our doors open and knowing very well a lot of our favorite places might not make it through this.”
