‘We are back!’: Employees who are the heart of several businesses are back to work

After 13 months, employees knowns as “The Crew” have returned to work at Holy Angels businesses in Gaston County.

“We are back,” said Mary Ellen Linaham, an employee at Cotton Candy Factory. “We are back! Oh my God! We are back here in Belmont!”
