Opanga akuchulukirachulukira pantchito, koma kufunikira kukuyembekezeka kupitilizabe kupitilira kwa chaka chimodzi kapena ziwiri. Nthawi zotsogola pakuyitanitsa zakula kuchokera kwa milungu ingapo mpaka miyezi iwiri kapena itatu, ndipo kubweretsa sikutsimikizika nthawi zonse.

"Nthawi zina ndimayenera kutenga mapaleti," atero woyang'anira zonyamula za Eureka Heights, Eric Allen, pofotokoza mafoni angapo omwe angatenge kuti atsimikizire kuti ali ndi zonse. Kuphonya tsiku lomaliza kupita kusitolo yayikulu sichosankha, chifukwa cha mpikisano wa alumali panjira yamowa.

Kufuna kwa zitini za aluminiyamu kunali kukula chaka cha 2019 chisanafike. Ogwiritsa ntchito mowa waluso anali atabwera kudzakumbatira zitini, ndipo opanga moŵa adazipeza zotsika mtengo kuzidzaza komanso zosavuta kuzinyamula. Atha kusinthidwanso bwino kwambiri kuposa mabotolo kapena mapulasitiki ogwiritsidwa ntchito kamodzi.

Koma kupezeka kudatsitsidwa pomwe COVID idayamba kupha anthu. Pomwe akuluakulu azaumoyo adalamula kuti mabala ndi ma taprooms atseke, kugulitsa kwachangu kudatsika ndipo ogula adagula mowa wambiri wamzitini m'masitolo. Ndalama zochokera ku malonda a drive-thru zinapangitsa kuti magetsi aziyaka kwa ogulitsa moŵa ang'onoang'ono. Mu 2019, 52 peresenti ya mowa wogulitsidwa ndi Eureka Heights udali wamzitini, ndipo ena onse adalowa m'matumba kuti azigulitsa. Patatha chaka chimodzi, magawo a zitini adakwera mpaka 72 peresenti.
