p A locally owned Culver’s Restaurant on Riverside Drive in St. George has seen a sharp decline in business over the past week due to road repaving that blocks access to the area. /p
“Like our restaurant and many others like us, you see a recognizable logo on the door. But, when you come in, it’s owned by someone who lives in your community,” said Henrie. “This is our baby. I’m here flipping burgers, scooping shakes, cleaning our bathrooms. I’ve had great mentors who showed me that this is the way to be successful.”
The community, however, has rallied behind the business. After he posted on Facebook about the impact of the construction, he’s seen a surge in local support. Cameron Cutler, the city’s Public Works Director, acknowledged that the project’s timing could have been better. “In this case, it was the left hand not talking to the right hand, and it was just bad timing,” he said. “I feel bad for the public on Election Day. There are some people who feel we did that on purpose, but that is absolutely not correct. This one was a mistake and bad timing.”
