From The Greenback Diner

Due to continued concerns with Covid-19 Greenback Diner has decided to close to all dine in customers. We will remain open for call in/take out only until further notice. We love our community and will do everything we can to make sure our customers stay healthy and fed! In order to best accommodate this transition and to ensure social distancing, please remain in your cars when you arrive to pick up your order. We will bring your order out to you! Thank you and let’s all do our part to stop the spread of this virus!

From The Loudon County Chamber Of Commerce

We are in a time and place we have never been before, and everyone is having to learn a new normal. Social distancing is required to keep the spread of the Coronavirus to a minimum, but this puts a large strain on our small businesses and restaurants.

Most restaurants have closed inside dining, but are still open for drive-thru, pick-up and even some delivery services. Lets help our local businesses stay in business by utilizing the services they are offering. Here's a list of what we've received so far.

Both KFC locations - KFC Lenoir City and KFC/Taco Bell Loudon are drive through and take out only at the current time. There is plenty of food, no one should go hungry - and no one should have to cook! Stop in at 865 Hwy. 321 N, Lenoir City or 12395 Hwy. 72 N, Loudon and take come a great meal for your family.

Our good friend Darrell Bryan of WLIL Radio 102.7 FM and 730 AM states that he will announce any changes concerning business operations or not-for-profit schedules during this very trying time. WLIL wants to do everything they can to help support the Chamber and local commerce. Email dmbbryan@gmail.com for more information or to share your announcements.

Calhoun's at the Marina in Lenoir City is now closed during this crisis.

Here at Chili's in Lenoir City, we are open for business as usual. We have implemented strict sanitization policies to help keep our guests safe while they dine in or get to-go. This is, however, subject to change as the coronavirus situation is very fluid. If needed, we will close our dining room and bar to abide by any government or health mandate, but plan on keeping our to-go and curbside pick-up business fully open. Our hours of operation are still 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. These hours of operation will remain the same unless otherwise mandated.

From The Burgers in Lenoir City - In order to help out we are now offering a BBQ sandwich and side for $4.99. As always we have Toilet paper and it is free if you need it. Normal hours, Dine-In, or Take-out. #Theburgersgotyoucovered #Supportlocal

To help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our community, and to protect the families of all of us involved in Markets on Broadway, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close. We anticipate this will last until at least March 31st, but we will continue to monitor this situation and re-evaluate as conditions change. Now some good news: we have been working hard on an online shop that we hope to launch later this week ???? You will be able to browse & pay online, and we will offer limited hours (TBA) for curbside pickup. We thank you for your support during this difficult time, and we are hopeful that our community will come out of this stronger than ever! Please find ways to continue supporting our fellow downtown businesses as well ?? Sincerely, Mike, Paige and Meagan DeFreece

From Ms. C's Bed & Biscuits: Dear Four Legged Kids Parents

We have been staying abreast with the latest updates on the COVID—19, including attending National Webinars designed specifically for Kennel Owners and General Managers. We are pleased to hear the COVID-19 does NOT affect dogs, there is NO risk of your dog getting this virus or transmitting this virus to their human family members. “Our dogs do not get this virus” has been clearly stated, however GOOD HYGIENE, washing your hands with soap and water is still vitally important. We are happy to inform you, we are remaining open and will continue to provide our overnight (Boarding) and day camp (Daycare) for your canine kids. We have very strict cleaning and disinfecting controls in place, including installing the PetAirapy UV System during the summer of 2018, which kills 99.9% kill rate of viruses and bacteria. In June, 2018 we installed the PetAirpy UV System after the East TN area encountered an outbreak of Bordetella. We were the first kennel in the area to install this UV air purification system. It is inspected and recertified yearly. We’re happy to say, since installation, we’ve not had any respiratory issues with any of our canine guest or our staff. It remains effective and we’re proud to have made that investment in our kennel during 2018.

Sincerely, John & JeanAnn Carrigan - Owners and Founders, Ms C’s Bed & Biscuits

Horse Haven of Tennessee continues to work with law enforcement to rescue horses who are victims of neglect and abuse. With the support and generosity of the community, we are able to provide the resources to rehabilitate the horses and find forever homes for them with families who will care for them. During this extraordinary time when our country is dealing with consequences stemming from trying to control the spread of coronavirus, we are caring for 19 horses in our barn. We are following the recommended protocols for personal hygiene among our staff and volunteers and limiting numbers of people present at the barn. For the near term, therefore, we are not offering tours of the barn to the general public. We are a 501(c)(3) organization that relies on the generosity of donors to make the care of the rescued horses possible. Our near term fundraising efforts--which generally consist of hosting events involving groups of people--are limited at this time. Your donation will help Horse Haven continue to provide care and veterinary attention to the 19 rescues.

The Real Estate Closing Specialists

Dear Valued Customer:

As we continue to monitor the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19), we want you to know that the health and well-being of our customers, staff and communities are of top priority.

We want you to know that we are taking steps to ensure that all of our locations are cleaned appropriately on a regular basis. We are also working to ensure that our employees and staff are well informed and taking all necessary precautions for their health, as well as, that of our customers. We are encouraging everyone to continue to use good hygiene, but to focus on frequent hand washing, the use of hand sanitizers and staying home, if feeling ill or believe they have been exposed to someone with the virus.

Our office locations are open for business at this point, but we may find the need to temporarily close some or all of our office locations to the public in the coming weeks. If this step should become necessary, we would do our best to make electronic delivery of documents available to you so that documents could be signed remotely, if needed or requested, and so that closings could take place timely, where possible. We would do this not only to do our part in helping to curb the spread of the virus, but also so that staff could be shared between office locations.

Additionally, as the situation evolves, if public Register’s Offices and/or other County Offices elect to close their doors, it is important to know that this can affect your closing date as we would be unable to gather necessary data for your closing and/or ensure timely recording of instruments after closing. If any of these events should occur, we believe it would be only for a short time period, but it is important to follow these decisions as they can affect closing dates which may, in turn, necessitate, amendments to purchase agreements and/or other contractual documents which are a part of your transaction in order to extend closing dates should that become necessary.

Finally, you can always reach our offices by calling any of our office locations or by emailing us at titleone@title-one.net. Even if our staff were required to work remotely, we would continually be checking phones, messages, and emails to ensure your transactions are being handled appropriately.

Thank you for your assistance, patience and cooperation as we continue to evaluate and adapt to these changing times.
