in business/People

As it starts a process of reopening the local economy after the coronavirus shutdown, Stanislaus County will allow dog grooming, drive-in movies and retail stores providing curbside pickup, starting on Friday.

County supervisors, who made the announcement at Tuesday’s board meeting, acknowledged many people will be disappointed by the meager reopening of commerce this week.

But a plan for unshackling more business sectors is promised for next week’s Board of Supervisors meeting, which could be a good sign for dine-in restaurants, hair salons and fitness centers.

Small Business Rallies In Support Of Colleagues

in business

There’s a small grassroots movement happening at the center of Oakdale and it comes at the hands of small business owners Bear and Allison Walters. The movement, however, has little to nothing to do with their downtown fitness studio, Get Fit Oakdale.

While to some the movement might seem simple, a T-shirt bearing the words “In This Together” down the front with #weareoakdale at the bottom, has generated much buzz. So much so, that the T-shirt sales idea will now roll out to other neighboring cities.

“We’re about to launch it in Turlock, Ripon, Hughson and Escalon as well,” Bear Walters said of the fundraiser they began to benefit local small businesses. “But that’s tied to a business who has a story to those communities like Butler’s Pantry will be the one spearheading for Escalon.”

Coronavirus hits home for renters, landlords alike

in business/Economy

The coronavirus pandemic has affected nearly every facet of everyday life, leaving many renters, landlords and property management companies uncertain about the future.

At Stanislaus State, where in-person classes have been cancelled, students looking to move back home are flocking to social media messaging boards in an effort to find prospective tenants to take over their leases. Student Priyanka Chand has already moved back to her home in Stockton, she said, but is still responsible for paying $890 per month for her master bedroom in a shared student apartment at The Vista until the end of July.

“Because classes have converted online, there was really no point for me to stay there any longer because there’s no reason to be on campus,” Chand said. “I’m trying to get out of my lease, but management has been very uncooperative.”

TURLOCK, Calif. — In a town that previously banned marijuana, success won't necessarily be measured by dollars and cents. For some dispensaries, it might be more about turning heads for the right reasons than turning a profit.
