SAN ANTONIO – Cacey Kovacs, owner of Hill Country Distillers in Comfort, Texas, said customers have been very understanding about the business’s need to push sales of food, souvenirs and even tokens. But for the regulars, there’s only so much merchandise the business can push. A recent survey by the Texas Restaurant Association revealed 50% of restaurant operators believe their business will not be open in six months if they don’t get some government relief. So bars have to continue to push the merchandise, food sales and whatever else they can to make it. “Please, please, support local, support small businesses because they need it badly,” Kovacs said.
