More businesses building patios to draw in customers
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Hot weather has many Hatters already seeking out local restaurants, cafes and pubs that provide a patio for customers to soak in the sun.
Local has already opened its patio extension for the third summer and has had several customers looking to get a seat outside the downtown hotspot.
“I think that it brings people outside more so,” said Amanda Bianchi, general manager of Local. “Honestly, it’s beautiful downtown and I don’t think there’s enough businesses that do have the patio atmosphere.”
