SAN ANTONIO – Small business owners in San Antonio struggling to stay afloat are being urged to “take the helm” as they navigate turbulent financial waters during the pandemic. Every day we never know what tomorrow is going to be,” said Arthur Perez, co-owner of Cadeaux, a gift shop downtown. “They will be providing meaningful support to small businesses that are the backbone of our community, many of which are minority-owned,” Schmitt said. AdHe said given the lack of parking, Cadeaux now offers valet service. So they walk in, they shop, I valet their car upstairs, and then I bring it back down,” Perez said.
