Pos?pandemic closure?

For these businesses.

Nick?

Live yes katie?

These doors at oasis tan are once again open to customers.

Most of these businesses are small and locall owned.

So for them, the governor's order to let them reopen was welcome news.

Just a little while ago i had a chat with cindy graves who owns oasis tan.

She told me the time she was closed would typically be her busy months.

Obvously, the business has lost out on a lot of revenue, that would normally hold them over during slower times of the year.

Now she's running specials to try and get customers back in the door as quickly as possible.

One of the hardest things for graves during the closure was not seeing all those familiar faces come we've been here for ten years.

A lot of the clients, i know them very well, they've become my friends and i miss talking to them so i was really excited to be here today, it's been fun, it's been a fun day.

Throughout the day business has been steady at oasis tan and graves expects it to pick up even more as people find out about their reopening.

Live in mason city, nick kruszalnicki, thanks nick.
