By Gabriella BorterLEWISTON, Maine (Reuters) - At Best Thai II in coastal Maine, the phone has been ringing off the hook.
But at Best Thai II - one of the only restaurants open this week - business has been bustling since owner Pongsakorn Hanjitsuwan opened his doors hours after the shootings.
Hanjitsuwan opened his restaurant after weighing the risk with staff.
In Auburn, the town adjacent to Lewiston, the checkout line at Roy's Foodland wrapped around the store all through Thursday.
The family-owned store, opened 48 years ago, was the only option as all the big chains were shuttered.
