Per Holtze was disappointed when the Statesboro Shoney's restaurant ceased operation two weeks ago, but the closing of a neighboring business has not daunted the spirits of one of Statesboro's youngest entrepreneurs. The 32-year-old co-owner and general manager of the Quality Inn and Suites on South Main Street in downtown said his belief in the area is still strong, and he knows that untapped potential remains. "When we bought the hotel in June 2008, there were properties near us that were empty, and are now viable businesses that are doing well," Holtze said.
