Summer-like weather brings business to Pismo Beach

PISMO BEACH, Calif. - Warm temperatures on the Central Coast brought visitors and business to Pismo Beach shops and restaurants like Pancho's Surf Shop, Pismo Yogurt and Cool Cat Cafe.

“It’s really nice. It’s cold in Utah, so it feels really nice here. It’s a nice breeze too with the hot weather,” said Ellie Poulsen and Kenadee Hanks, who were visiting from Utah.

“When it’s hot out people go walking, people go shopping," said Sarah Wampler with Pancho’s Surf Shop.

Thursday's temperatures peaked around 74 degrees which business owners said is ideal for customers.

"Whenever it's hot, we have more business," said Capri Flores with Cool Cat Cafe.

Restaurants and shops along Pismo Beach's waterfront are expecting foot traffic and crowds to increase as more students get out for summer break.

"Everyone starts to come out a lot more when it gets hotter. I started to realize a lot more families, a lot more kids. I think everyone's off for school," said Pismo Yogurt manager, Matthew Morgan.
