THERE was a mixture of anticipation and concern on Thursday among various restaurant and food establishment owners ahead of the upcoming planned reopening of their businesses.

At a news conference at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s on July 10, the Prime Minister announced the reopening of all restaurants, food establishments, itinerant and non-itinerant food services to provide drive-through, curbside and takeaway services from Monday.

Prestige Holdings CEO Simon Hardy said staff at its KFC, Subway, Starbucks, Pizza Hut and TGI Friday restaurants have been out at their respective establishments making the necessary preparations. He said those include ongoing cleaning, checking inventories, placing orders for stocks and testing all equipment to make sure they were functioning properly.

Hardy said that would continue up to Friday.
