Formula 1 has arrived in Miami Gardens, and Lorna’s Caribbean and American Grill is ready to celebrate with their famous conch soup. On a busy day, Bodei received about 50 orders for their conch soup, which has been a significant boost for the business. Despite the expected crowd of 600,000 people in the area, customers are still willing to beat the traffic for a taste of the delicious soup.
Next door to Lorna’s is Classy Girl Beauty Supply, who experiences a loss in sales whenever Formula 1 is in town due to traffic diverting their usual customers to other businesses. Across the street, customer Junior Correa is getting his soup to go so he can enjoy it while watching the Formula 1 event from home.
Correa expresses his excitement for the soup, stating that they have been craving it all week. Bodei mentions that being located near the race event helps attract customers before, during, and after the festivities at the stadium. Overall, the local businesses are experiencing a mix of challenges and benefits due to the Formula 1 event in Miami Gardens.
