Three staff members were injured in the crash and were sent to hospital but have since returned home.

Our Midtown food store will remain closed throughout the day while we continue to clean up & assess the damage. Our team members at that location are receiving support & the 3 injured team members are recovering well at home.

The store remains closed today as staff continues to assess the damage done to the building.

This is not the first time something like this has happened this summer. Last weekend a truck crashed into a restaurant in the southeast. And at the beginning of the month, a car ricocheted into the patio of Bottlescrew Bills.
