The tough economy has fewer people eating out. Now, one Dallas restaurant owner is urging North Texans to support local favorites.
“There are so many great little local restaurants here in Dallas, and we are inundated with so many corporations or corporate-owned deep pocket restaurants that can afford to stay open and afford marketing and get more people in the door. It's people like us that are dwindling. And if we don't get help, local businesses all across Dallas, they're not going to be many of us left,” she said.
Willis said she’s received several donations and has seen an increase in business since posting the video. She just hopes the uptick will continue. Recently the Texas Restaurant Association released a statement about the extreme increase in food costs and decrease in consumer spending. It noted restaurants have, on average, raised prices by about 7%, compared to grocery stores that have raised prices by about 12%.
The group reported it has been humbled by all of the restaurants that are staying nimble and will continue to support restaurants of all shapes and sizes facing economic challenges.
