“After months of store closures and layoffs, border businesses eager to welcome back Mexican customers Nov. 8” was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
Before the pandemic led to closing the U.S.-Mexico border to tourists, New World by Juan’s — a household goods store only a stone’s throw away from the international bridge that connects El Paso to Ciudad Juárez — employed seven people. Today it’s down to three.
And when COVID-19 cases surged again last summer, the owner closed one of his three El Paso stores, which employed six people.
