This beautiful homecoming weekend wasn’t just celebrated by the Chippewa’s win over Temple, but local business had something to celebrate as well.
It was sunny and warm in Mount Pleasant and full of visitors this weekend, whether they were visiting friends or their alma mater. More people means more business and the local businesses around CMU saw the profits roll in.
“We more than doubled our normal days worth of sales,” said Kristin Nordozzi a manager at Qdoba Mexican Grill, “We scheduled an extra 40 hours of labor in anticipation of this weekend.”
People must have felt like celebrating after CMU’s 24-14 Homecoming win in front of 22,114 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
“The game got done around seven and then masses of people started rolling in,” explained Ashley Palmertan a server at Qdoba, “There was a non-stop line out the door for about three hours after the game.”
Qdoba wasn’t the only business seeing double the customers. Dominoes Pizza was working overtime to try and handle all the calls for delivery they were getting.
“We brought in extra people tonight to handle all the delivery orders we are getting,” said the friendly delivery man who declined to say his name, “It’s a mad house out there!”
