>>> IS WE ARRIVE OF THE ONE- YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE PANDEMIC, AMONG THOSE THAT STRUGGLE THE MOST ARE OWNERS OF SMALL BUSINESSES.

TODAY WE HEAR FROM GREG SLOSS.

WHO IS THE NORSE PARK SPORT SPORTING-GOODS CLOSED FOR GOOD.

THERE IS MY GRANDFATHER DAVE AND MY FATHER JOE.

>> MY GRANDFATHER STARTED IN 1941.

IN THOSE DAYS IT WAS A SMALL APPLIANCE STORE WHERE HE SOLD RADIOS AND RECORDS AND SMALL APPLIANCES.

I WORKED THERE FOR 40 YEARS.

I THINK I WAS 22 WHEN I STARTED WORKING THERE.

TEAM SPORTING-GOODS.

THERE WAS NOTHING BETTER THAN HAVING A MOM BRING HER CHILDREN INTO THE STORE KNOWING THAT YOU WERE GOING TO TREAT THEM RIGHT.

IT RINGS IN MY EARS WHEN MY DAD USED TO TELL ME, DON'T BE A BIG SHOT.

JUST GET THE CUSTOMER WHAT THEY NEED.

AND THEY WILL REMEMBER AND APPRECIATE IT.

AS THEY NEED OTHER THINGS GOING FORWARD THEY WILL THE MEMBER YOU TREATED THEM WELL AND THEY WILL COME BACK AND GET WHATEVER THEY NEED ON THEIR NEXT VISIT.

THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THE EVER EXCELLENT.

I WAS FINALLY ON MY WAY TO FIGURING OUT HOW TO RUN THE STORE AS I NEEDED TO RUN IT.

AND THEN THE PANDEMIC HIT.

I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE IMMEDIATELY.

THE LOCAL LITTLE LEAGUE PLAYED ONE GAME AND THEY CANCELED THE REST OF THE SEASON.

ALL THE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS WERE CLOSED.

I KNEW I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A DIFFICULT DECISION.

I KNEW ONE DAY THINGS MIGHT GET BACK TO SEMI-NORMAL.

BUT I ALSO KNEW AT THAT POINT I WAS SO BAR BEHIND REGARDLESS OF HOW GOOD BUSINESS WAS GOING FORWARD, I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO RELAX AND RUN THE STORE AS I WANTED TO RUN IT.

I WOULD ALWAYS FEEL THE PRESSURE OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

I DID NOT PAY MYSELF FOR ALMOST 7 MONTHS.

I JUST USED WHATEVER MONEY WAS COMING INTO THE STORE TO DO THE DAILY OPERATIONS.

I ALSO KNEW THERE WAS NO PENSION COMING FROM THE SPORTING GOODS STORE.

I DID NOT WANT TO TRY AND BE A HERO KEEPING A BUSINESS GOING THAT WAS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO SURVIVE.

SO I TOOK THE THOUGHTS OF MY GRANDFATHER AND MY FATHER.

I THINK THEY BOTH WOULD'VE TOLD ME I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.

I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

AS OF YESTERDAY IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE I CLOSED THE STORE.

I THOUGHT I WOULD SO MUCH DIFFERENTLY THAN I DO NOW.

AS FAR AS KNOWING WHAT IS NEXT FOR ME, I FEEL LIKE I AM FLOATING IN A BOAT.

IT IS HARD.

BECAUSE I AM A ROUTINE ORIENTED PERSON.

I WENT TO THE STORE FOR 40 YEARS AT 730 IN THE MORNING.

SO THAT IT'S A DIFFICULT ROUTINE TO STOP ALL OF A SUDDEN.
