Snow good, bad for business

Gary Wynn loved every minute of the last two days of snow.

The unemployed Struthers man placed an ad in The Vindicator, hitched his plow up to his pickup truck and worked nonstop.

“I’ve made $500 since the phone started ringing at 7 a.m.,” Wynn said at about noon Wednesday.

He also worked through the night Tuesday, mostly on driveways of homes and apartment buildings.

“It’s very busy. I can’t keep up,” he said.

The snow hasn’t made everyone happy, however. In fact, it ruined Valentine’s Day at Gorant Candies’ store in Austintown.

Feb. 14 usually brings in so many customers that there are lines at every register, said Peggy Myers, store manager. Wednesday, only a few younger customers braved the snow.
