F7 - Hearst Journalism Awards ProgramF: “To tell you the truth, I don’t feel safe like some of the people do,” said Zulcufli Zulbeari, owner of Gene’s Chicken & Pizza & Seafood in Sandwich, Ill. With chairs stacked high and dining lights dimmed, Gene’s is one of the last businesses in town doing carry-out orders only. Zulbeari said he is waiting until August to resume in-person dining so he can hire more workers and feel more comfortable operating in the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite losing about 75% of business in 2020, Zulbeari said his 40-year-old restaurant stayed afloat through loyal customers. “People support businesses that are in town, they are very nice,” Zulbeari said. “You can’t find anything better than the customers we have here in Sandwich.”
