CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Roughly one year ago, the owner of Public Fish & Oyster had to layoff all of its employees and temporarily shutdown. Since then, the business says it has worked to pivot and keep its doors open with the help of loans, a supportive community, and business model changes.
“This is my life’s work, and to think it was in a position where I could lose everything for something I had zero control over was really an awful feeling,” owner Daniel Kaufman said.
