But they know they’re not alone. Along with the Franklin Lions Club, they’re trying to cheer up local small business and restaurants with a little game of bingo.
“I saw Menomonee Falls had something similar and I asked if we could borrow it. We changed a few things. 23 restaurants. If you get five receipts you can win a gift card. It helps everyone out," said Franklin Lions Club President Doug Bertram.
“We will give you a coupon to come back and get free beer, wine or drink,” Mastrostefano says.
