WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — Business owners at a West Valley City strip mall are left wondering about their future after multiple stores were deemed a total loss following a 3-alarm fire Thursday.
"The restaurant, we started in December of 2021 ... on top of a lot of hard work and sacrifice, we started this business, and now after many years, this disgrace happens," said Leo. "I called all the coworkers and we evacuated and told everyone to get out because it was not safe," said Ricardo, who works at the restaurant."Workers left IDs, passports, wallets, purses, cell phones, they were all left behind."
"This is my everyday job, and now myself my family and my employees will be without a job, and we don’t know when they will return and we are so sad about this situation," Leo shared.
