Baumhower’s to offer groceries starting Monday: ‘If I don’t get help, I’ll be out of business’

Business at Bob Baumhower's Victory Grill is down 70 to 80 percent, will offer grocery store starting Monday.

Gone is the in-house dining, replaced by online ordering, curbside pickup and Gabi’s “Just Wing It” drive thru. Starting on Monday, add “Victory Grocery” to the list of descriptions.

“The grocery store is just part of the story to me as far as the fight we got with this damn thing,” Baumhower said. “If I don’t get help, I’ll be out of business. This is the last payroll I can do with everybody being on board without closing. The grocery store is the last thing I can come up with to grow sales.”

Baumhower, like many, has applied for an SBA loan.

This SBA loan process has been a challenge for most small businesses. The hoops you have to jump through are tough. A lot of companies pay employees on 1099 and SBA doesn't count that as pay for employees. The 2.5 average monthly pay is going to be a drop in a bucket of cash you need to stay in business. We are an essential business but with a lot of companies shut down the business is drying up and so is the cash flow. Keep the faith.

When things are good...put a little back for rainey days
