frankfortstationdaily.com news the frankfort station | March 26, 2020 | 5 Chamber aims to help businesses affected by closures, shutdown 4 Nuria Mathog, Editor State-mandated closures of bars, restaurants and other businesses in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19 have hit small businesses hard, and the Frankfort business community is no exception. Frankfort Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Marianne Melcher said these new restrictions have had a significant impact on the Chamber's approximately 670 members, and the Chamber is looking to support these businesses in any way possible. "It's obviously devastating to those owners," Melcher said. "We're trying to do what we can to help them, but it's really Raffy’s Candy Store is one of 14 businesses registered with the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce’s E-Gift Card, which can be used at any participating business, an initiative the Chamber is promoting to help the local business community in the wake of recent closures across the State. Nuria Mathog/22nd Century Media affecting all of our businesses, because people are being quarantined, not going out shopping. So, we're just encouraging everyone to keep the public informed, keep the social media updated with their hours and information. Anything that we can share, we're happy to do that." Melcher said the Chamber's best recommendations for helping local businesses are ordering takeout or delivery, purchasing gift cards for local shops, being patient and non-judgmental, showing kindness and gratitude and offering hope. She noted residents can support local businesses by buying an E-Gift Card, a new initiative the Chamber launched prior to the pandemic, which can be used at any participating Frankfort business. Currently, 14 businesses are registered with the service: Body & Brain, Body Fountain, Briosa Boutique, Budget Blinds of Frankfort, Enrico's Italian Dining, Fuse Salon, My Sisters and Me Boutique, Raffy's Candy, Royal Salt Cave & Spa, Silver Strand Boutique, Simply Home Again, The Brow Lounge, Whimsy and White Street Cafe. "It's convenient," Melcher said. "People can buy them online, and they use it at any of them ... We would love to see more members sign up for this gift card opportunity. It's no financial gain whatsoever for the Chamber. It's just to help the businesses." The Chamber is also working to provide up-todate information on how local businesses are adapting to the new restrictions. While some establishments, such as Emagine Theater, Grounded Coffee Bar and Anytime Fitness, are closed at the moment, others have made changes to hours or services. Old Plank Trail Community Bank announced it would be temporarily closing its lobbies but would still allow drive-up and walk-up services, Snow Family Dental is only seeing existing patients with dental emergencies and restaurants such as Dancing Marlin are serving customers via carryout, curbside pickup and delivery.
