A survey was conducted by the NYC Department of Small Business Services. Eighty-one businesses within the Throggs Neck BID participated.
The percent of revenue loss reported by those eighty-one businesses is as follows:
91–100% revenue loss: 27 of those responding.
81-90%, 13
71-80%, 6
61-70%, 6
41-50%, 7
31-40%, 5
21-30%, 4
10-20%, 2
As worrisome as those numbers are, the actual figures may be even more troubling. Only two of the respondents to the survey were traditional, non-food storefront businesses, the type of enterprise that constitute those hardest hit by the lockdown.
