#1,477 - Portland DT Restaurants struggle as patrons do NOT feels safe due to homelessness and crime

From food carts to downtown restaurants, Portland business owners tell KATU revenue is low.

That includes Mother's Bistro. Despite weekend brunch crowds, the owner said she's been struggling ever since reopening from the pandemic in the summer of 2021.

"It has not just been an unusually slow December, it’s just been unusually slow. The business has not picked up since Covid. Downtown is still pretty quiet. We don’t get breakfast or lunch business during the week, we don’t get dinner business hardly at all," Lisa Schroeder said.

Schroeder said she started doing Tik Tok videos to show people the types of food served at her restaurant.
