MAZEPPA, Minn. - 2020 has been a tough year for Minnesota businesses affected by pandemic shutdowns and restrictions, but members of one community showed their support for a Mazeppa eatery Thursday night.
Community members showed up to safely support The Pondy Restaurant and Bar at a time when the business has been through a lot. Restrictions have forced them to lay off staff and rapidly change the way their business operates.
Northfield Liquor Storeâs revenue slightly increased in 2019, according to a report from the Minnesota State Auditorâs Office.
According to the report, filed earlier this month by State Auditor Julie Blaha, the cityâs municipal had revenue of $2.91 million last year, $9,000 more than the $2.9 million the store made in 2018. The store had $143,596 in net profit and $749,311 in gross profit.
âIt stayed strong,â said Liquor Operations Manager Brian Whitt. âWe were up in sales and up in gross profit as well.â
