Some of the impacted merchants have moved to stands in other parts of the market to operate Thursday, said Spencer. Reading Terminal staff is also hauling in ice to try to save perishable inventory for the rest.
The outage was caused by an internal electrical transmission problem, which Spencer hoped would be fixed by Friday morning. The rest of the market — nearly otherSpencer couldn’t speak to which affected merchants will open in a different part of Reading Terminal Thursday, or if those who lost inventory due to the outage will be reimbursed.
Dave Braunstein, who owns Pearl’s Oyster Bar, said the stand hasn’t lost too much inventory, but that willchange if the outage persists. Thursday’s closure also means Pearl’s will see a 10% drop in weekly sales, said Braunstein, but he isn’t looking for any sort of reimbursement from Reading Terminal.Jacob Cohen, the co-founder of Kismet Bagels, agrees, saying the staff at Reading Terminal have been helpful and communicative.
Cohen said the bialy stand was able to salvage all of its inventory on Wednesday afternoon. Kismet will be offering sick pay to the employees at the Reading Terminal location scheduled to work Thursday. Still, he is worried about how the outage could impact business overall.Which vendors are impacted?
