A Scottsdale dry cleaning business got enough financial help to get them through the pandemic from the Barstool Fund

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A Scottsdale dry cleaning business got some much-needed help from the Barstool Fund, a fund set up to help small businesses survive the pandemic.

Pony Express Cleaners, a dry cleaning company in Scottsdale, was only "six or seven weeks" away from closing, owner Kevin Redden said. 

A large part of his business comes from the hospitality industry, he said, which was decimated by the pandemic and shutdowns. That loss of business trickled down to Redden's business, which he said was down 75 percent or more. 

If he closed, his 10 employees would be unemployed. 

"I was looking at people's lives," Redden said. "These are people I've known or years."

Redden's daughter submitted an application to the Barstool Fund, a project of Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. The Barstool Fund has raised more than $7 million to help small deserving small businesses impacted by the pandemic, mostly from donations.

On Christmas Day, Portnoy called the Redden family, but Kevin wasn't there. he was at the dry cleaners, trying to determine which of his employees could best survive a cut in hours. 

Redden's family came to the shop and told him: The Barstool Fund would pay their payroll until the pandemic was over.

"It was like God has lifted the world off my back," Redden said. 

In video Portnoy posted to Twitter, Redden is seen breaking down in tears as he realizes his business won't have to close. 

"Thank God I got daughters who know what they're doing," Redden aid. "Because they're the ones who save the day for me and my employees."

There is a slight chance for light rain west of the I-81 corridor, as well as a slight chance for some wintry mix along the west-facing slopes of Pocahontas and Greenbrier counties in West Virginia, due to a weak cold front passing through. However, much of Southwest and Central Virginia will stay dry for Monday.

Cloud cover will be variable, ranging from mostly cloudy to mostly sunny skies throughout the day, Clouds are expected to be more stubborn west of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wind gusts up to 25 mph may occur in the New River Valley and Alleghany Highlands.

It will be noticeably cooler Tuesday and Wednesday due to Monday’s cold front. Afternoon highs will be in the 40s. Tuesday will offer us plentiful sunshine, but skies will become cloudy Wednesday ahead of our next rainmaker.

Rain chances will increase throughout the day Thursday with scattered showers mainly moving in during the afternoon. Widespread rain will become likely late Thursday evening into New Year’s Day. Rainfall totals of 1 – 2″ are possible and this will be an all-rain event since high temperatures will be in the mild upper 50s/low 60s Thursday and Friday. If you’re ringing in the New Year at midnight, temperatures will be in the 50s. For those with plans, keep in mind that wet weather is looking likely and roads will be rain-slicked.

The rest of the afternoon and evening are looking to be just fantastic as we continue to see a mixture of sun and clouds, but low rain chances. Temperatures will be remaining warm as well as we slowly fall back into the upper 50′s and lower 60′s through the early evening. Overnight will be mild once again as we see lows starting out Tuesday in the lower 50′s for many locations with a few upper 40′s possible for inland areas. Tuesday looks to be a carbon copy of our Monday as we see a mixture of sun and clouds throughout the majority of the day as moisture continues to increase as we see southerly flow continuing. Highs will be above average once again as we look to reach the lower 70′s once again and if you like the warmer weather make sure to enjoy the next couple, because colder air will be arriving. Most of Tuesday looks to remain dry, but as we head into the overnight hours we could see a few showers beginning to develop.
