West Florissant businesses face new struggle
FERGUSON • Business is resuming along the strip of food markets, chop suey restaurants and auto-parts stores that line West Florissant Avenue. But it’s not business as usual.
Most shops have reopened, although many work from behind plywood nailed over missing windows. Customers are back, too, but nowhere near the normal numbers.
That has some businesses wondering if they can still make a living on West Florissant in Ferguson and Dellwood.
Shi Thompson was worried about driving to West Florissant to have her nails done but came anyway Thursday morning. She saw the word “Open” spray-painted on the plywood of the shop.
