More than 160,000 businesses listed on the online directory Yelp YELP, -5.35% have indicated that they closed since the onset of the pandemic in early March through Aug. 31. Some 60% of those are businesses that are permanently closing, Yelp reported in its September Local Economic Impact Report.
“Breakfast and brunch restaurants, burger joints, sandwich shops, dessert places and Mexican restaurants are among the types of restaurants with the highest rate of business closures,” the report said. “Foods that work well for delivery and takeout have been able to keep their closure rates lower than others, including pizza places, delis, food trucks, bakeries and coffee shops.
But even with government assistance programs aimed at helping small businesses weather the storm, many are cutting their losses and closing permanently.
That's awful. I feel bad for those businesses. Margins are always tight for restaurants so that makes it almost impossible to survive an extended shutdown or slowdown of business
