"Closed for renovations—will reopen soon" to "We will not be reopening soon." The club's owner criticized Fetterman, saying, "he had no right to touch our property". Two years later, the club renamed itself "Club Elegance" and Fetterman unsuccessfully sought to have it shut down for violating Braddock's ordinance that bans clubs with strippers from operating "within 300 feet of the property line of any school, church, day care center or community center". Fetterman cast only one vote during his tenure as mayor. In 2012, he voted to help the borough council choose a president. Starting in 2013, Fetterman began defying a 1996 Pennsylvania law that banned same-sex marriage and began to marry LGBT couples inside of his home. In 2013, Fetterman and celebrity chef Kevin Sousa established a restaurant in Braddock, something the town had lacked. He bought a 3,000-square-foot former car dealership, intending to make it the site of the new restaurant, named Superior Motors. A Kickstarter was started, and funds were collected for the restaurant. Fetterman said that Superior Motors would provide jobs for Braddock residents, serve as an economic accelerant for the community, and "help people reimagine a space, a street, and a neighborhood". The restaurant opened in 2017, but closed in 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Mayor Chardaé Jones, Fetterman's successor, criticized the restaurant for closing after only a few years and having received a Paycheck Protection Program loan for $190,000 in 2020. Shotgun incident Fetterman was criticized for an incident in North Braddock in January 2013 when he heard a sound he thought was gunfire and followed an unarmed jogger, whom he detained with a shotgun. The jogger, Chris Miyares, a black American, said that what Fetterman thought were gunshots were kids shooting bottle rockets. Fetterman said no debris had been found. Miyares claimed that Fetterman pointed the shotgun at his chest while he loaded the gun and then aimed the gun at his face. Fetterman denies that he pointed the gun at Miyares and said he only pointed the gun in a way to show that he was armed and that he "didn't even have a round chambered or the safety off." He said he believed he "did the right thing" and has not apologized. No charges were brought against either in connection with the incident, and Miyares never filed a formal complaint. The incident gained new attention during Fetterman's Senate bid, with critics
