Local eateries shoulder higher costs from new minimum wage and smoking ban
Elyria restaurant owners report rising labor costs after the January wage hike and smoking ban. Smitty's owner Steve Frank says the wage increase adds over $2,500 monthly, while the ban trims late-night bar business by about 20 percent. Patouhas of Lowell Street Café adds $1,200 more monthly, with prices rising and customers slowly adapting. Glasper notes annual cost climbs tied to inflation may threaten small businesses.
