On March 20, 2020, Rikard Mattsson opened the doors to the restaurant in Boden for the first time.
At the same time, the coronavirus had begun to spread around the world.
The gang behind it had already taken out a loan and rebuilt the premises and it was not possible to postpone the opening.
But when the government decided on an alcohol ban at 20:00, they were forced to lock the doors for the time being.
- It was basically impossible to make money, says restaurateur Rikard Mattsson.
And since the restaurant is newly started, they can not apply for financial support either.
- It is based on you comparing your income this month with the same month last year.
Then we were not open.
We can not get any help.
