Good morning,
When Pokey’s business was on the verge of closing, the Nebraska community he generously served stepped up to return the favor. The entrepreneur, whose real name is Steven Murphy, had opened his Cajun restaurant A Taste of Louisiana in June 2020, and soon was doing steady business. But by October 2021, orders had slowed down dramatically due to the pandemic, he had maxed out his business credit cards, and he was behind on rent. He decided to cook everything he had left over for the homeless, and shut down.
What Pokey hadn't taken into account, though, was how important he and the restaurant were to the community. After he told his plan to a friend and volunteer employee, she started a GoFundMe to save the business, which surpassed its $10,000 goal within a week. Check out the full story of how a grateful community stepped up save an entrepreneur’s dream. |
