Rain, Economy Batter Jones Food Concessions.

Bad weather and a soft economy have taken a 40% bite out of revenues this year for Jones Food Concessions, Wauchula, Florida. The 30-year-old concession business, owned by Kathy and Joe Jones, begins its season in March at the Strawberry Festival in Florida. They travel through Southern Florida in April then go into the Midwest or as they did this year, the Fast Coast. The Jones' employ four people beside themselves for the three trailers that travel together from spot to spot.
