The South End of New Bedford has a new hot dog business that s only been open for a week.
Talk about courage; it s not easy to open up a business in general, let alone during a pandemic. Kiyla s Korner actually came about in a special way that is becoming the new normal for some businesses up against the wall with COVID-19 pandemic bearing down on them.
David Bizarro, the owner of Bizarro s transportation in New Bedford, is Kiyla s grandfather and also the co-owner of Kiyla s Korner. When the coronavirus hit the SouthCoast, he lost about 90 percent of his transportation business. Since only a small amount of people are traveling these days, there s been little demand for luxury transportation to the airports, leaving Bizarro in a pickle.
