Rumor Central

Abby’s Restaurant in Downtown Howe will be closed for a week starting Aug. 26 through Sept. 4.  The restaurant will reopen on Sept. 5 with regular business hours.  The closure is due to the restaurant owner acclimating her youngest daughter to first-time college life in California.

“I need four days to get her settled in and three days to cry,” Abby’s owner Lillian Avila told the Enterprise.

In Small Town, Texas, rumors can sometimes do great damage to small businesses and Avila wants to let Howe and surrounding communities know why they will be closed so that wrong information does not spread.

Local small businesses are the backbone of America.  Shopping local renews and strengthens your home town and helps neighbors pay for things such as college.
