Business owners all across the Northland right now are looking for any kind of help to get through the pandemic, but now relief for Minnesota businesses is coming in the form of $216 million. It s a bit miraculous how this turned around, said Grandma s Restaurant Company Director of Operations Tony Boen.
Boen and other restaurant workers reached out to Governor Walz after the most recent shutdown asking for financial assistance. His initial answer was we don t have the ability to help out. three days later after a lot of outreach and letters and phone calls and emails, he changed his mind, and said, yep, we got to get something done for these restaurants and hospitality, said Boen.
