We may not be able to dine in at our favorite restaurants right now but many eateries remain open for delivery and pick-up. We are so proud to highlight two of our small business partners that are working together through the coronavirus pandemic. Both businesses have also been sponsors of RTC\u2019s Summer Heat and Rider Appreciation Campaigns.\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Denette Braud, owner of Braud\u2019s Funnel Cake Caf\u00e9<\/a>, and Trina Jiles, owner of Gritz Caf\u00e9<\/a>, came up with an idea on how to keep their customers happy during uncertain times.<\/p>\r\n

Braud\u2019s Funnel Cake Caf\u00e9 has a brick and mortar operation at Town Square between the Apple Store and Raiders ticket office but Denette decided it was best to temporarily close. \u201cThere\u2019s not enough foot traffic at Town Square for us to say open,\u201d Denette said. She quickly thought of a plan-b to keep her business going. Denette is using her food truck, which is usually reserved for special events, to serve patrons in the parking lot of Gritz Caf\u00e9, located on Stella Lake Street near the Historic Westside. \"\"As business owners and friends, both Trina and Denette thought it would be a good idea to have their operations share a parking lot a couple of times a week to serve customers who want breakfast, lunch, and the famous carnival dessert, all while practicing social distancing. \u201cWe started social distance practices before the governor\u2019s orders came down. It was the responsible thing to do,\u201d Jiles said.<\/p>\r\n

So far, their partnership idea has been a hit!<\/p>\r\n

Gritz Cafe is open for curbside pick-up on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\r\n

The Funnel Cake Caf\u00e9 food truck is parked outside Gritz Caf\u00e9 on Thursdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\r\n
