Greenbrier County business suffers after two substantial power outages in 10 days
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WV (WVNS) – Two substantial power outages have hit parts of Greenbrier County within the past ten days, as of Friday, May 23, 2025. More than 16,000 customers in Greenbrier County affected by power outage These outages have impacted businesses and their abilities to operate. Jade Hanna is the owner of one of these businesses, called Across the Board Game Café. Over the past 2 weeks, Across the Board has had to close up shop twice on days they are normally open. One might think a café with the theme of board games would be safe from power outages, but Hanna said it affects them just like everyone else. 'We have over 400 board games. We are a board game café. So, people come in, they can play games all day. It is just $5 a person and it is a good thing for families. But whenever we [also] do not have power, they cannot come and enjoy it [in return],' said Hanna. Across the Board serves up food and treats like flatbreads, salads, sandwiches, ice cream, coffees, and more. 'We just have one [generator] of our own. We literally just plug in our ice cream machine just to make sure we do not lose all of that. We kind of risk everything else going if if the power does not come back on quickly,' added Hanna. Hanna told 59News it is difficult to get the amount of business they need week to week. 'Now, there has been twice that we have had to close on days that were normally open and it has affected the days after because everyone else has been affected as well,' said Hanna. Friday is normally one of the busiest days of the week for Across the Board. Hanna said Friday, May 23, 2025 was very slow in comparison to most Fridays, likely due to people recovering from power outages. US is ending penny production: How will you be impacted? 59News reached out to MonPower regarding these outages. MonPower said the power substations linked to these outages are owned by Dominion Energy. 59News also reached out to Dominion Energy and we are still waiting for them to respond.
