Disaster Strikes....

[Mikey the Flower Guy]

Our friend,and my brother Luc Morrissette, that operates Alpine Flowers and Gifts in Elliot Lake,Ontario,Canada, has lost access to his shop, as the underground mall that housed his shop, and his former card shop, is now locked down as a result of the collapse of a large part of the roof/ground parking level of this mall, and though one casualty has been reported, and most injuries, were non life threatening, this mall appears to be structurally compromised, and may NEVER be open to business again........and there's a possibility, that the multi storey attached hotel, may too be closed permanently.
They called me the moment it happened, and at first I thought they were pulling my leg, as we've been there many times.......

This is such horrible news. So glad Luc and his family and staff are all okay but now what. I'm sure he's in shock... wish there was something, anything I could do.

That's so horrible, glad Luc and his family are safe. I would be doing a lot of praying about my insurance coverage. With something this big, it could be years before everything is settled. If you see him, give him a hug from his flowerchat family.

my brother in laws parents live there and had just walked into the mall when security turned them back saying that some ceiling tiles had come down... it was a tad more then that!! I am glad your friend is ok and hope he can get set up quickly somewhere else!

Thanks Mikey and everyone for their concern.
It looks Like everything is loss for me as I will have to relocate and start from scratch.
Will be looking for a location right away on MOnday and talk to insurance people.
I will also be calling some of my suppliers for help.
I have a wedding planned for this weekend and a funeral on thursday that was pre ordered.
Since I was the biggest florist in town, THe other florist would not be able to handle the work load.
Mikey keep an eye on a walk in cooler.
Talk to you later

I have found 6 or 7 walkin/glass door coolers that would be perfect for you LUC......let's wait & see if you get space, and what size you need...also have my eyes on some stainless sinks/counters.....
