Los Angeles, CA - June 27: Gritz N Wafflez owner Jurni Rayne at Gritz N Wafflez in Los Angeles Thursday, June 27, 2024. High interest rates have affected consumers and small businesses. Gritz N Wafflez is a brunch diner, started two years ago by owner Jurni Rayne. She began with a ghost kitchen offering delivery service, and moved to this location, 1.5 miles west of the Staples Center, about a year ago. It'll be moving again this fall to a bigger space in Koreatown as the restaurant has become very popular. She says she might have moved even sooner had interest rates and financing been more favorable. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)
