"Many retail stores in the city, including Awoke, are lucky if they break even on weekdays and actually make money on weekends. Losing business during the shop's only profitable time will be beyond a devastating hit."
"We have already weathered the storm of a 10-week shutdown from the MTA, and we were promised that was going to be the end of it, assured that our businesses were a priority."
"Their lack of assessment or terrible job of assessing exactly what the issues are with the G train make it so that they come back every single year."
Small business owners in Greenpoint are facing devastating impacts from extensive G train shutdowns scheduled for the rest of the year. The MTA plans to shut down G train service completely for ten weekends through 2026, including three weekends each in June and December, along with overnight weekday closures. Business owners, like Rachel Despeaux of Awoke Vintage, express frustration over losing customers during their most profitable times. Previous shutdowns have already strained their operations, and the upcoming closures threaten their survival in a challenging retail economy.
