San Diego community saves Lemon Grove BBQ restaurant from closing

The owner of Coops West Texas BBQ said since he made the announcement last Tuesday that he was closing his business, people from all over San Diego County have been waiting in line to dine at his restaurant. “When people started hearing about the closing, it was such an outpouring of love. It brought tears to my eyes when I came out here and saw line all the way to the street,” said Cooper.

    These are the types of business we need to patronize, not multinational chains like McDonalds

    What happens after the people leave again? Going broke never comes as a sudden shock, it's a pattern of bad habits. Best of luck to Coops, but people wont be there all the time. These high prices are here to stay and lending will be expensive.

    In addition to high prices, folks don’t care to patronize businesses with bad customer service….after my last experience in 2020, I never went back! Poor customer service might have something to do with less customers! IMO
