Avoiding small business lending scams and fraud related to COVID-19 requires you to be diligent and on the lookout for grant fraud, loan fraud and... Read more >>

HOMETOWN HERO
BY MARYANN KETCHAM
The Pizza Guys Pizzeria and Pub, a popular Vero Beach eatery, is just more than two years young. Billy Mullan, pictured above, his brother Shane and friend Anthony Marini own the establishment.  

"One of the things that excited me the most about opening a restaurant was having the ability to employ people,’’ said Billy Mullan. “Many friends of mine also own restaurants, and so I know firsthand how employees soon become family."

Because of the coronavirus and the resulting restrictions placed on the industry, Mullan knew that many locals would become unemployed. "Giving them notice had to be very difficult.  I wanted to help in any way possible."

Together with his partners, Mullan created the #barbuckchallenge.  Each Wednesday, the Pizza Guys store  gives a percentage of its sales to employees of other restaurants. Knowing this was just a starting point, Mullan created a Facebook video encouraging and challenging other restaurants to partake in the enterprise.

Some of the restaurants that readily accepted the challenge included Cafe' 66, Cap's Pizza, The Sebastian Sandwich Shack and McDonald's of Vero Beach.  

"We were able to raise enough money to help two restaurants with 23 employees," said Mullan. "We gave each employee $100 plus a gift card for pizza at The Pizza Guys."

Vero Beach Hardware joined in by donating a patio set to raffle off.  Proceeds of the raffle will benefit the #barbackchallenge.  

Three additional restaurants with 31 employees will soon benefit from this fund-raising effort.  

"We are all in this until every restaurant is back up and running."  Mullan added, "The best part of this is the help we receive from our generous customers who drop money into the donation buckets.  We couldn't do this without them.”
Do you know somebody on the Treasure Coast who should be singled out for praise because of their actions during the coronavirus pandemic? Whether it’s a nurse at the local hospital, a volunteer at the local food bank or a grocery clerk going the extra mile, Treasure Coast Business and Indian River Magazine Inc. will help you sing their praises in our new online feature Hometown Heroes of the Treasure Coast. Visit www.indianrivermagazine.com/hometown-heroes/
As a service to readers and restaurants on the Treasure Coast, Indian River Magazine Inc. has created a website showing restaurants, bars, breweries and wineries that are open for carryout and/or delivery in St. Lucie, Indian River and Martin counties. The site includes hours and days carryout is available as well as popular dishes. See the new site at treasurecoastrestaurants.com
