DULUTH – Less than a mile from the Canadian border in the northeast corner of the state, Ryden s Border Store has been painfully quiet for the past year of the pandemic.
Owner Mike Boomer said he has lost 90% of his business at the convenience store and gas station, his general manager of more than 10 years departed and he doesn t know where he ll find employees once the border finally reopens to more travelers. Being a third-generation business owner has its own challenges without two governments working against us, Boomer said during a roundtable discussion on the ongoing international border restrictions on Tuesday. We need some sort of opening not tomorrow, we need it now. We need something to start moving.
