June 21, 2022

Stores along Market Street were eager to see a bump in business on Monday with the Golden State Warriors parade celebrating the 2022 NBA Champions attracting thousands into the city, where block after block has been mostly quiet since the pandemic.

"It's kind of very scary because business was slow and nobody knows when it's going to pick up," said Jatinder Malhotra with Raavi North Indian Cuisine on Market Street. "We are excited and looking forward to grow more business."

People packed the intersections and sidewalks Monday morning and well into the afternoon to watch players and members of the Warriors franchise work their way along the parade route in buses and cars. Restaurants and shops lined along the street and surrounding crossroads all enjoyed extra foot traffic. Many street vendors also tried to take advantage of the large crowds in downtown.
