WOODWAY, Texas – Blanek’s Custom Catering is making the switch to short-order cooking as COVID-19 shutdowns limit their potential business dramatically.
Usually cooking orders for large events, they now sell meals for curbside delivery at the Shipley’s Do-Nuts on Woodway Drive. Catering manager Jamie Blanek says the McLennan County Shelter in Place order hit them hard.
“We have completely lost all of our catering,” says Blanek. “It went from being completely booked to absolutely nothing.”

Majewski Plumbing Celebrates Grand Opening of New Storefront | Business | capemaycountyherald.com
I have been in the plumbing & construction business for over 30 years. For the first 10 years or so, I worked on service and repair for customers at other companies. Eventually, I thought I could finesse the services better and tailor each job better to the client's needs. So I decided to do it on my own - and thus in 2004, I founded Majewski Plumbing.
Having a background degree in micro-computer technology has granted me a unique curve with smart-home technology. As I dove deeper into construction and smart home water valves, I realized I could really start creating some unique, voice commanded homes for open-minded clients during the construction build. I began experimenting with it in 2013 before ultimately founding Majewski Smart Homes.

Three days later, in an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus, Peru closed its borders and put strict curfews in place, leaving Gambirazio unable to return. Despite being on a U.S. evacuation list, Gambirazio said he has yet to hear anything definite from the U.S. Embassy in Lima about when and how he might leave the country.
