NEIGHBORHOOD
NEIGHBORHOOD
As the pandemic continues to leave
its mark on businesses all across the nation,
no one has been bumped and bruised more
than local restaurants. With lots of indoor
dining offerings being closed for much
of the last ten months, many restaurants
rely solely on takeout and delivery
orders–and even when they are
open to a limited capacity, it’s very
challenging to make a profit.
Most restaurants in our area are
open and ready to see you! But if you’re
not ready to venture back out into the
restaurant scene, order takeout. One local
restaurant owner told us that, aside from
coming in, that’s the absolute best thing
you can do to help. But never underestimate
their need for our support. It not only
exhibits compassion, it, most
importantly, exhibits hope.
In the coming months, Hometown Rankin
will highlight locally owned restaurants in
a new feature we call Neighborhood Eats.
Please support this community of businesses.
It will take all of us doing our part to make
sure we all not only survive–but thrive.
