Local restaurants are struggling.

Last week’s executive order from Gov. Henry McMaster forced them to close their dining areas.

Many have completely shut down operation.

Some will be forced to close their doors permanently.

Locally-owned businesses will suffer more than big chains.

One challenge for restaurants will be alerting customers about what the restaurant does have available for delivery or pickup.

That is where the Chronicle can help.

We are significantly reducing our ad rates.

Local restaurants can purchase a 3-column wide by 2-inch tall ad for as little as $40 a week.

The ads will appear in the Lexington County Chronicle, The Lake Murray Fish Wrapper, and the online versions of both papers.

Get the word out now about your restaurant’s pickup and delivery options.

Your message will reach more than 25,000 prospects for your business.

To take advantage of this reduced-rate offer, contact Chuck McCurry 803-348-0243, Linda Sauls 803-467-0334, or Jerry Bellune 803-331-6695.
