The family-run restaurant has started a gofundme to raise money to repair the damages. The $50,000 goal will go towards rebuilding the site, replacing damaged equipment and paying for their employee’s lost wages until they can reopen.
The cold Vancouver weather hasn’t been kind to restaurants. This incident comes just after another restaurant on Marine Drive was flooded amidst the cold temperatures.
