WAYNE, Pa. - The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a toll on small businesses along the 100 block of Lancaster Avenue in Wayne. "It's sad when you walk down the street.
It's not the little village of Wayne when I rented 22 years ago with all the cute little shops. It's very different," Donna Martella, owner of Belladonna Gifts, said.Martella is moving to the Lancaster County Farmers Market because she can't afford the more than $10,000 a month rent.
After almost 10 years, Alicia Eger decided to close her Wayne Coco Blue store."COVID sealed the deal for me. The losses I incurred.
