A restaurant owner who posted a picture of empty tables on a Saturday has been overwhelmed by the power of social media after scores of diners turned out in support.
Earlier this month a despondent Jackie Smith, who runs Exo Poli in Shrewsbury, shared the photo of her empty restaurant, which is based Longden Road, on Facebook.The message attracted a huge response from locals, and has seen the restaurant packed out over the weekend, with Jackie even starting to open on Thursdays as a result.
A post accompanying the image of the empty restaurant contrasted with the happy diners enjoying themselves on Saturday, said:"I hope you don’t mind me sharing this as a comparison for you all to see the power of people xx and I pray it will continue.Speaking to the Shropshire Star, Jackie, who set up the Mediterranean restaurant five years ago – just before Covid struck – said she was overwhelmed at the turnaround.
