Profits dropped, say bar owners
“It’s definitely down. Just look around,” said Gary M. Ziemba, the owner and sole occupant on a recent day at the Blue Room Cafe in Chicopee Falls.
Ziemba, who is running a business that has been in his family since 1936, said he believes sales have dropped by 25 percent from last summer’s take.
“People are complaining about it. They’re saying ‘Why go out for a drink when I can buy a six-pack and sit at home?’ It’s really hurting us,” she said.
