Sleepy Eye businesses reopen for dine-in, drink-in customers
The Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch
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.
The Herald-Dispatch asked some of Sleepy Eye’s eating and drinking establishments about their reaction and plan for reopening.
Both Hardee’s and Dairy Queen will continue with drive-thru service only for now.
“It’s a corporate decision,” said Matt Heath, Hardee’s Manager. “But drive-thru only has been working well for us and our customers. It also means we don’t need to dedicate additional staff to cleaning the dining room. We appreciate the support of our customers.”
