SKOKIE, IL A family-owned Kosher diner in Skokie received a financial lifeline from the Barstool Fund, a crowdfunded effort by to support small businesses struggling due to COVID-19.
Ken s Diner, 3353 Dempster St., is one of at least 190 businesses supported by the fund since it was launched last month by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.
This month, the restaurant began receiving $10,000 a month to use for payroll, allowing its co-owner brothers to keep paying staff and catch up on expenses.
