As the coronavirus continues to batter the U.S. economy, mom-and-pop operations are struggling to stay afloat despite the federal government’s efforts to distribute $659 billion in forgivable loans to small businesses. “Its going to be a wash in the next six months — well see who survives and who doesnt,” Pennsylvania pub owner Pat Ryan told Yahoo Finance’s On the Move last week. “But its going to take at least a year to get out of this hole.” Paul and Pat Ryan own and operate four restaurants in Pennsylvania: Ryans Pub, which has two locations, Smokey Joes, and PJ Ryans Pub. The Ryan brothers say they have attempted to apply for a loan for all four of their locations under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for small business coronavirus relie f. So far, they have been approved for three loans. NEW YORK, NY - MAY 02: A business stands closed on May 02, 2020 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.

Despite the PPP, Ryan said, “As time goes on, people are going to fall farther and farther behind.” The state of Pennsylvania currently has a stay-at-home order in place until May 8 , but Pat Ryan said it could be some time before the bar gets fully up-and-running because the re-opening could come in several stages. Moreover, Pennsylvania’s bars and restaurants will likely not be able to operate at full capacity. “With social distancing, how we’re going to do that in a bar, I don’t know. We’ll have to get direction from the government,” Ryan said. In the meantime, Ryan said, “Most of the staff is just waiting and texting all the time, ‘When are we going to open?’” McKenzie DeGroot is a producer at Yahoo Finance.
