'Our community completely saved us' A Toronto bar owner says her business will survive the coronavirus pandemic thanks to the loyal customers who bought up her entire beer stock, giving her a desperately needed cash boost

A Toronto bar owner says her business will survive the coronavirus pandemic thanks to the loyal customers who bought up her entire beer stock, giving her a desperately needed cash boost.

Abra Shiner opened her bar, Swan Dive, five years ago in the Brockton Village neighborhood of Toronto, Canada. After Covid-19 restrictions forced her to shut the doors, Shiner decided to ask her community for help via Facebook. "We were blowing through our savings and I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to pay rent towards the end of the month," Shiner told CNN."So, I wrote on Facebook asking people to come buy the beer we had in our stock room ... and it worked. The post went viral."

In just two days, the post had over 20,000 views, and people from all over the community showed up to Swan Dive to show their support.The Swan Dive carries 35 craft beers and typically keeps two or three cases of each beer in back stock. Shiner says she was able to sell more than 90 cases and is now down to just two.She says that the money from the beer sales, combined with the federal rent subsidy, will keep the business above water until she can safely open again in March.

Here in America, they would have looted the bar.

There is the insane on the top of the media.CNN!

Bar adapts to covid by becoming a liquor store. Makes sense.

This is just wrong. Shame on the LA mayor

She is stupid if she believes that tenets will be any businesses left after hoax pandemic of chinesevirus is over. Everything would belong to government and North America will be on path towards communism.

but lets trust the government with healthcare

Scared of covid but not scared of alcohol which causes 3 million deaths annually.

حدا الله الخمر مدر يجب هليك التأقلم بدون الكول

Shame that can't be done for the locally owned vaccuum shops and card shops and secondhand shops and craft supply shops. They are all __cked

Headline: Community in a selfless act bought up one mans entire stock of crack cocaine just to help him survive.

One hell of a pong game in Canada

Great that the community could afford it

Canada politics suck

Oh this is nothing. In india, the govt made an alcohol ecommerce website and listed not only liquor stores but also bars and restaurants, and one could order bottles from any of these places to be home delivered throughout the lockdown. Of course, this was to help govt earn tax.

This is so awesome! ❤️🇨🇦

Faith in humanity restored

NOTICE NO THANKS TO GOVERNMENT LIKE GOP!!! CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HELP BUSINESSES DURING A pandemic!! WE ARE THE ONLY 1ST WORLD COUNTRY NOT HELPING CITIZENS! GOP RAN BY realDonaldTrump HAS MADE US STRUGGLE!! 😡😡COVIDIOTS fools scum

I’ll help America’s hat. I’ll buy the last two cases. Wonder what Canadian beer is like 🤔

That's a great idea.

This is a good argument for voluntarism. Thank you for helping encourage anti govt sentiment.

You snakes support this government overreach. You are not supporting the people. Stop acting like it.

In one day I sold over $4000 in gift cards at my restaurant. It paid my food bills for the week. It made a difference. Community support makes a difference. shopsmall

Democrats can't do that in America...

During Trump's speech in Georgia, a Trump supporter mocked and raised the FNN (Fake New Network) flag.

Cheers!🍻🍺
