Local Elon businesses struggle during summer months
Town Table and Taphouse served their last meals and poured their last beers at the end of this summer, leaving many to question the viability of doing business in downtown Elon at a time when the area’s most consistent customers — Elon University students — leave campus deserted. But many businesses are still going strong, supported in part from May to late August by a robust community customer base. “We’re just busy all the time, even in the summer months,” said Sandie Broom, a manager at The Root Trackside.
