A struggling Flandreau business has been allowed to reopen a drive-thru liquor window after the street was closed in front of the business.
Nitza Rubenstein, owner of Fajita’s Bar and Grill, said after stone blocks started falling off a building across the street, her business has come to a standstill because the drive-thru lane was closed so people couldn’t exit. She asked the city council at the April 1 meeting to help her by allowing her to restore some of the business she offers.
“I need to do something, and I need you guys to help me. If I have to wait … I’m going to have to close,” she said.
Council members said the city should open up the far west lane of Wind Street so that people can enter and exit her drive-thru, which also serves food. The lane has been made into a one-way going south out of her driveway.
“The on-sale liquor portion of the business is a lifeblood for that business,” Council President Dan Sutton said.
