Restaurants Struggle as Costs Soar | Portland Maine News
Description
Rising costs are crushing restaurants nationwide, forcing owners to get creative just to stay afloat. From George and Leon’s, a roast beef shop that closed on July 4th due to staff shortages and heat, to Belleville bakery and Noble BBQ that shut down earlier this summer, the pressure is real. To survive, spots like Smoked Portland and Lucky Cheetah are rolling out late-night deals, while new entrants like Ubu’s Sports Pub aim to win customers with unbeatable value. But even with smart moves, challenges persist—Bayou Kitchen now closes midweek due to staffing and ingredient costs. Owners are fighting tooth and nail to keep their doors open and serve their communities.
