Unfortunately!Construction is killing El Camino’s and other businesses.
We understand that road improvements are necessary, and we truly appreciate the effort being made to make Salem better.
We know that once this project is finished, it will benefit everyone.
However, we want to be honest about the impact this construction is having on local businesses.
For months, access to our restaurant has been limited.
One entrance opens while the other closes, and recently the road has been completely closed with a detour in place.
While customers CAN still get to El Camino’s, many people assume we are inaccessible because, at first glance, the road appears closed.
This situation is affecting not only El Camino’s, but several neighboring businesses as well.
We love Salem! This community has supported us for many years, and our employees are like family to us.
The last thing we want is to close our doors or see our team members lose their jobs.
But the reality is that if this situation continues for much longer, it may become impossible for us to keep operating.
We are asking our customers, friends, and community for support during this difficult time.
If you've been thinking about stopping by, now would be a great time.
Please continue supporting local businesses that are being affected by the construction.
Remember: WE ARE OPEN and you can still access our restaurant.
Thank you for standing with us.
We are praying and hoping for a quick completion of the project so that Salem can continue to grow and local businesses can continue to serve this wonderful community.
