GEORGIA: Restaurant reopens and packed with customers after E-coli scare - (WCTV)
August 5, 2008 – 10:08 pmIt was a packed house Tuesday afternoon at the Barbeque Pit as several hungry customers got their long awaited Barbecue fix.
But last month the restaurant voluntarily closed its doors after selling meat linked to a recent E.coli outbreak.
Owner Ruth Hall says she never imagined they would be closed for an entire month, which she says hurt the family business financially.
“When you spend ten, twelve thousand dollars a day it’ll tear you up, takes everything, as far as how much we lost- we lost a lot,”said Ruth Hall.
The Restaurant re-opened Saturday after test results came back negative. Hall says business picked up immediately all thanks to her loyal customers.
