As businesses in the leisure and hospitality industry became affected by the impact of COVID-19, the operators of the popular Usain Bolt Tracks and Records (UBTR) eateries said they have suffered significant losses. This, as earnings plummeted by approximately 90 per cent across their locations in Kingston and Montego Bay.

Responding to questions from the Jamaica Observer’s Sunday Finance, Gary Matalon, director and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Kingston Live Entertainment (KLE) Group Limited, operators of the popular food establishment, said that the impact to the food and beverage industries worldwide, including theirs, has been significant, with millions of jobs lost and some businesses forced to close. The KLE restaurants trade under the name of world-renowned athletic champion Usain Bolt.
