As the opening of Live! Casino Resort and Hotel in Petersburg draws closer, the city wants to make sure downtown and Olde Towne businesses are ready for the influx of visitors. Many may need to change their business model because of the 24 hours a day, 7 days a week nature of the casino.
Old Towne Perks restaurant owner Steve Perkinson is preparing for more customers and understands his current hours of operation may have to change.
“We’re going to target those overnighters that are staying at the hotels and things of that nature that need to fill those bellies after a long night of having fun,” Perkinson said.
