The Chaffeeâs Got Heart Committee chose Loni Walton, owner of YOLO, for Chaffeeâs Got Heart.Â
Walton said the pandemic changed operations at her shop, keeping customers and staff safe while still maintaining a mission to add to the vibrancy of downtown Salida.
Early on, the pandemic pushed YOLO to do more online sales and private appointments. In addition to extra sanitizing, YOLO kept the doors open and limited the number of customers allowed in the shop at once.
âWe care about our staff and customers. We felt like we wanted to keep everyone safe,â Walton said. âThis is very important to us. It has been important to do everything that we could to stay open and be viable business, while taking care of everyone in the same process.â
