The owners say they are doing everything they can to resume operations.

They both said their dream is to be able to serve the community.

“It’s bad. It’s very bad,” Mollah said. “We fought for eight months to open this store. Then we’re here for two weeks and this happens.”

The Endicott Fire Department told 12 News the walls of the building were at risk of collapsing.

An investigation into the causes of the crash is ongoing.
