ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (KGUN) — While many restaurants were closing permanently in 2020, one owner saw an opportunity and took a leap of faith that has paid off three years later. "It's been a rollercoaster from when we first opened during the pandemic," said Bud Sayso, the owner of Tuk Tuk Thai. In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic had a global impact on various industries, the food and beverage sector was among the hardest hit. This industry is where Bud Sayso has been for 22 years. He says his savings depleted rapidly during the onset of the pandemic as he retained all of his employees despite the impact COVID-19 had on his business.
