Ports strike affecting South Florida restaurants
SUMMARY: Strikes at South Florida’s ports are causing delays and higher prices for imported goods, significantly impacting business owners, particularly in the restaurant industry. A popular South Beach restaurant, Sanini Boros, reports food and beverage prices have surged by 30-40% due to the strikes, as they heavily rely on imports from Greece. Essential items like Greek yogurt, olives, and wines are now 40% more expensive than four months ago. Additionally, local produce prices have soared by 300%. The owner faces challenges expanding to a new Fort Lauderdale location, as 80% of the necessary furniture imports are currently stalled.
