August 9, 2022

Discusses the Challenges of Opening New Business in Midst of Record Inflation

Trinity, Florida: This week, Congressman Bilirakis visited a new, Veteran-owned small business in Trinity, Florida. Cryo-eeze's owner, Ryder Gaston, is working to provide affordable alternative and complementary therapies to civilians and Veterans struggling with physical and emotional pain. The wide array of services offered at the new center include: cryo-chamber treatment, a full spectrum redlight bed, hyberbaric chamber, and pulse/compression therapy. Opening a new business while the nation is grappling with 9.1% inflation is no small feat. Supply chain issues and workforce shortages can also be problematic. Congressman Bilirakis discussed these concerns with Ryder and his employees while touring the center.

"The difficult economic circumstances have impacted all American consumers and small business owners," said Congressman Gus Bilirakis. "I'm seeing it everywhere I go in our community. People are paying more for everything and there is a real struggle to make ends meet."
