GRANTS PASS, Ore.- As restaurants continue to struggle to make ends meet under the state’s COVID-19 restrictions, one Grants Pass location has a new challenge.
When Herb’s general manager arrived to work Monday morning, she found their outdoor dining area had been ransacked.
“When I got here, all of the heaters were gone. One of the hundred pound propane tanks was gone. The drop down shades had been cut. All of the electrical sources had been cut,” said G.M. Christine Parker. She says the thieves had stolen and damaged over $3,000 worth of equipment.
The heaters and electrical supplies were just bought late last year when the restaurant shifted to outdoor dining in November to try to continue to turn a profit under COVID-19 restrictions.
