A Business Owner's Struggles In Albuquerque's International District
Manage episode 407736020 series 2990884
Running a small business has its challenges. Running a small business along Central Avenue in Albuquerque's International District is particularly challenging these days. Some major stores have shut down. Other business owners are dealing with drug users, homelessness, and crime right outside their doorstep. This week, Chris & Gabby sit down with the owner of Southwestern Minerals, who has had a family business in the area since the 1960s. The owner shares details about what he and his wife are up against, what’s kept them in business so long, and the changes he hopes to see from the city to keep Route 66 businesses like his - around.
See the visuals from Gabby's KRQE Investigates report with Southwestern Minerals here.
