Wondering what it's like to open a business during the coronavirus pandemic? Meet Julie Snell and Lisa McDonald Hanes, who are opening a nursery in the Philly suburbs.
Julie Snell and Lisa McDonald Hanes had planned to open their native plant nursery in a Philadelphia suburb earlier this month.
Now they don’t even know if that is an option. On Thursday night, Wolf announced that all businesses that aren’t “life-sustaining” must close immediately. Nurseries are on the list of what’s allowed, but Snell and McDonald Hanes still needed to hire staff and get everything working. Earlier this week, they were still filling out applications for credit-card processing. The website is still being updated.
But while officials in Washington, D.C., discuss bailouts for some big industries including airlines and sending checks to Americans, many small-business owners wonder how they will survive. “If they could reduce that interest rate, that would be a huge help,” Snell said. “Or give us a grace period.” When they heard the owner of a native plant nursery was selling, they bit. They figured they could add services such as garden design work for homeowners, garden coaching and more. And it could provide another source of income.
