Now, the first franchise location is set to open in Chandler, Arizona in Spring 2021.&nbsp;The hospitality industry has been hit particularly hard by COVID-19. 810 was not immune. They followed a two-month state-mandated closure and 75% reduced capacity. When it comes to running a hospitality business through COVID-19, Siniscalchi touched on how helpful the PPP loans were to continue to run operations.“We did participate in the PPP program which certainly helped through those months of closure and all the restrictions that were in place over the summer. It ultimately comes down to all of our people being resourceful and flexible. Finding ways to do things on a cost-effective basis,” said Siniscalchi.&nbsp;You can listen to the full episode <a href="https://www.southcarolinapublicradio.org/show/south-carolina-business-review/2021-03-11/growing-a-hospitality-business-during-a-pandemic?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=south-carolina-business-review-growing-a-hospitality-business-during-a-pandemic-2715481" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
