Chiefs news: Isiah Pacheco’s eating habits help KC diner

Isiah Pacheco has made a habit of coming to Pegah’s in Kansas City more than once and his affection for their food is helping business in a big way.

There’s always something heartening about seeing Kansas City Chiefs players, coaches, and figures interact in the surrounding community. All too often, it seems such persons might not realize just how much their presence means to a particular fan or business or non-profit, but Isiah Pacheco has given another example of how something simple as a show of support can help sustain a business.

Pegah’s is a local diner with three locations that’s remained open for more than three decades, and they’ve found a new fan in Pacheco. The first-year running back for the Chiefs has frequented the establishment more than once and a recent Facebook post has been shared dozens of times showing Pacheco at the restaurant.

According to a FOX4 story, the restaurant has seen a 20 percent boost in business in the aftermath.

These have been a difficult few years for most restaurants in the wake of consumer changes amidst a global pandemic. We love seeing Pacheco as a man of the people and that a small business can receive support because of it.
