Tacotote, Dairy Queen, and Blake’s Lotaburger are but a few of the El Paso businesses that have closed this year in El Paso, TX.

Just last week, we heard that more restaurants were closed or were planning on closing their doors to the public.

Before the pandemic, many big chain retailers and restaurants such as J.C. Penney, Luby’s, and even Payless Shoe Source were closing stores down across America. Now, our current economy is being crushed by the enduring coronavirus, and more businesses are grappling to stay afloat.

All-you-can-eat buffet-style eateries may be getting shut out as the pandemic continues as Souper Salad has closed both its locations in West and East El Paso. It’s also worth noting that another buffet-style restaurant, Golden Corral, has now re-opened, and time will tell how successful they are at remaining open.

Rent hikes, poor sales, and a looming virus are severely affecting local businesses, and sadly this may be the beginning of more closures to come unless we find a better way to come out ahead of this deadly pandemic for the betterment of our health and our economy.
