(ABC 6 News) - In Albert Lea, restaurants are much closer to the Iowa border, where there have been no severe restrictions since the pandemic began. It will be nice to be competitive with Iowa and South Dakota. They ve been open since last summer, so it will be fantastic for our customers who want to have the option of wearing the mask or not wearing the mask, Dustin Trail, the general manager of Trail s Travel Center in Albert Lea, said.
Trail said the restrictions forced truck drivers who usually stopped for food to continue on to Iowa instead.
