This "hard to make money" statement. Ask any businessman that were doing business (not necessarily at Pavilion),
and they will say the same thing too.
But they did not close shop. Or move out from the location. So, I guess the business should be good.
If it's really "hard to make money", I believe the shop owner won't be there already.
The shop will be closed sooner rather than later because surely they can project their earnings ahead of bad economy
and whether they can continue to survive, keep on risking their capital or continue to flourish and earn more money.
