Business down in the Dells, but better than last year

August 22, 2009 By WRN Contributor

Business may be down in Wisconsin Dells this summer, but that’s okay for many business owners.

Tom Diehl of the Tommy Bartlett Show says you can’t compare it to last year, when Lake Delton was dry and it was a catastrophe for business.

Compared to 2007, Diehl says his profits are down by about six to seven percent. Still, Diehl says it’s not that bad when you consider the current economic situation for many families.

A colder than normal July also hurt some of the outdoor water parks, but indoor attractions still did well.

Diehl says there’s still some summer left, and he’s hopeful it will bring more people to the Dells.
