Help Juan's Mexican Restaurant

Donation protected
UPDATE: I'm including a link to the story on the news.


Hi everyone, my name is Will Anderson and I'm the owner of Juan's Mexican Restaurant in Fort Smith Arkansas.

My family purchased Juan's in December of 2017 and, while owning a restaurant has its challenges, it's been a blessing to us in so many ways.

When COVID hit I immediately made plans to protect my employee's interest in the long term. We closed down in March and came back that summer and business was doing well.

Unfortunately, I knew that with the holidays a spike in cases was very likely. This led me to close my dining room and go curbside until after the holidays, but even that's looking problematic.

I've been paying my employees since their unemployment ran out and to be totally honest, we're strapped.

I used our PPP funds for Christmas bonuses for those employees who weathered this particular storm, but even had we held on to those, at the rate we were burning through inventory and labor, there was only a few months of funding left anyhow.

Would you consider donating to save Juan's Mexican Restaurant?

I will use all funds for restaurant operations and employee salaries.

10% of all donations will be given to the Antioch Food Bank in Fort Smith.
