SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – With little government assistance, the food service in the United States has been decimated by the pandemic.
In lieu of government assistance, one Metro Detroit supplier is stepping in to help as much as they can.
Great Lakes Hotel Supply provides kitchen and dining equipment for restaurants all over Michigan, but now they’re providing support as their customers are struggling to survive through the current indoor dining shutdown.
Carrie Floyd said the bars and restaurants have supported their company for years, so now it’s time for them to step up and help the restaurants and the employees who are trying to survive. That’s why they set up the Local Love campaign, an online application for restaurant owners to fill out and also a GoFundMe page to raise money for these restaurants.

Outdoor dining tents outside Mesa Tacos and Tequila, Ale Mary s and Tom s Oyster Bar on Main Street in Royal Oak show one of the ways restaurants are dealing with limits caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Restaurants and retailers have seen local support from patrons, the DDA, city and county officials as they work to stay in business in the COVID-19 era.Â
