Smashed windows and thousands of dollars in damages: 3 Black business owners detail what it's been like to reopen their stores after being hit by looters

In Atlanta, Georgia, Wilbourn Sisters Designs, a Black-owned clothing store, was also hit by looters and forced to close.Janice Wilbourn, a co-owner of the store, estimates her repairs will cost around $5,000 — but those repairs represent a part of a greater setback. Her store was already struggling as it didn't receive a Small Business Administration grant to bolster it throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Wilbourn said the business predominantly relies on tourists.

"Our lives are more important than all of this material stuff," Wilbourn said, acknowledging that she stands with protesters. "At this time, I don't think the protesters actually did it," she said of her store's looting. "So we're just going to be strong and just continue to rebuild."Elsewhere in Atlanta, Stephen Chester tried protecting ATL-Cruzers, his guided tour business, during the protests.
