Sacramento businesses to reap the benefits from A's move to Sutter Health Park
"This is going to bring an economic prosperity here for all of our restaurants, Franquette's, The Barn, down the street down to Midway Grill." The A's baseball team is moving to Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, California, and businesses are already looking to reap the economic benefits from this move.

The move is expected to bring more games and job opportunities for the region. Barry Broome, president and CEO of the Greater Sacramento Economy, said the magnitude of the move is similar to the economic impact of a university.

WEST SACRAMENTO, California — The A's are coming to Sacramento, and businesses are already looking to reap the benefits from the predicted economic impact.
The Greater Sacramento Economic Council says it wasn't clear this would even happen a few weeks ago. The major announcement brings baseball lovers from all around.
"This is going to bring an economic prosperity here for all of our restaurants, Franquette's, The Barn, down the street down to Midway Grill," said Martha Guerrero, West Sacramento mayor.
The owner of Franquette says they were holding out hope it would happen. They're located on Bridge Street, just walking distance from Sutter Health Park.
"First and foremost, I think it's a big win for the region and for obviously, the small businesses in the community, West Sacramento and downtown Sacramento. I think we're all gonna benefit from having these great crowds come in," said Clay Nutting, a co-owner of Franquette.
"I feel like with more people coming in, it's going to give those restaurants or businesses that haven't been getting the business to have their opportunity now. And we're really excited to see new faces," said Jaden Slama, a bartender and server at the Midway Bar & Grill.
Barry Broome, president and CEO of the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, said the magnitude of the move is almost like the economic impact of a university.
"Because it's going to be ongoing now to have games being played. So, we're going to have a lot more games, and we're looking forward to seeing more job opportunities coming in here in the region," said Guerrero.
"There are people who are just really care about continuing to push this region forward, and this is yet another example. So, all the benefits that we'll feel as business is just icing on the cake for what the region's is going to experience as a win," said Nutting.
