MUSKEGON, MI – Big John’s Pizza is now closed on Tuesdays.
It’s not because of a lack of business, but the Whitehall pizza shop, 104 Thompson St., can’t find enough employees to fully staff its busy restaurant.
The managers at the pizza shop aren’t the only ones struggling to fill open positions. In Muskegon County and other communities in West Michigan that rely on tourism, the need ahead of the busy summer season is even more of a problem.
