One small business in the Valley is reacting to the idea of getting stimulus bailout money.

The restaurant has live music and regular business, but Shenandoah Pizza says it is feeling some backlash from the economy, especially with the rising cost of paying employees.

John Huggins, owner of Shenandoah Pizza, says, "We're having to pay a higher rate to get help and so I think we're going to have to cut hours back to adjust to that because of the situation that we're in."

However, Huggins believes the pizza business isn't hurting quite as much as some of the more expensive restaurants.

He says, "More expensive restaurants have been hurt because of the pricing maybe and we're a less expensive range for folks who have less to spend now."

Shenandoah Pizza may not need bailout money quite yet. Huggins is skeptical about the bailout money but says it isn't out of the question.

Huggins says, "I would say maybe no right now, maybe there are businesses that are struggling worse than we are and it could maybe help them out. But I mean, I probably wouldn't be opposed if there is some help out there a little bit, if it could help us out in some way."

Still, no matter what, he believe the City of Staunton keeps his pizza place open and alive.

Huggins says, "Staunton's been great for us. The city's really opened up to us and all the locals are definitely our bread and butter, that's for sure.

No decisions have been made yet about whether or not small businesses will receive stimulus money at this time.
