The restaurant industry has been hit hard<\/a> by the COVID-19 pandemic. Locally, Metcalfe\u2019s Market is hoping to ease the pain a little.<\/p>\n

Through April 19<\/a>, the Madison-based grocery chain is partnering with Culinary Ladies Collective<\/a>, Madison Area Chefs Network<\/a>, and Madison Originals<\/a> to sell restaurant gift cards. For every $25 sold, Metcalfe\u2019s will include a bonus certificate for $20 off a $100 purchase at their own stores.<\/p>\n

President and co-owner Tim Metcalfe says that ever since Gov. Tony Evers issued the \u201csafer at home<\/a>\u201d order on March 24, he\u2019s been trying to figure out a way to help businesses not deemed essential.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart was broken because I know so many local businesses and their owners,\u201d he says. \u201cThey\u2019re having to furlough employees. So we started an internal discussion of what we could do to encourage customers of these businesses to buy gift cards<\/a>.\u201d<\/span>\n
