My Electronic Cigarette store burnt down along with about 40 other stores. A random act of intentional destruction. I know about 20 people who have now lost their life savings and had their lives ruined and over 20,000 are now jobless.

People can be so cruel.

Two of my people are without jobs and millions and millions of dollars are going to waste.

News Coverage

Its in the westfield galleria in roseville.

Not one person was hurt. So the day ends sad but not tragic!

It is a very big mall.

Fire insurance is required for perm. tenants with contracts more then 6 years long. 50% of the stores in that area don't fall into that categlory.

It is expensive insurance combined with liability alot can't afford it.

That's the attitude I'd expect from a cigarette store owner :p I don't mean to make light of things, but it's ironic that it was an electronic cigarette store that was burnt down.

Hope all goes well in setting back up.
I need this place like I need a shotgun blast to the face.

Oh man AttackZerg, you're one of the people that i look up to because I'm an aspiring business man. I hope you can recover from this and the people affected.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Sucks.

Why would someone do that is what I wonder (shits and giggles, rebellion, strange moral reason)? Is it confirmed to be an act of arson?

Either way, I hope that those store owners get their shops back up but I'm worried about the employees too. In all likelihood some will not get a chance to get back into work. Are any employees guaranteed their positions back or will it be reapplications when stores reopen? I have no idea how that gets played out when places burn down.

I know someone else who's furious about what happened.....

Do you know if it was a case of arson or not yet?

This is why owning your own business, home, or expensive car is a huge risk. However, I hope you bounce back quickly.

edit: I hope that guy gets sent to prison.

The news coverage I saw earlier tonight said it was within a localized area of the mall, or was it much more significant? Also, 20,000 sounds like a huge exaggeration. Regardless of all that, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your business; it's always interesting to read your blogs about expanding it and what not, so I hate to have to read a setback like this for you. I've been to that mall a few times too and it's lovely, quite a shame.
Im pretty good at whistling with my hands, especially when Im holding a whistle.

Ya 20,000 seems like some hogwash. The Great mall, Valley Fair, Santana Row, and Valco malls in my San Jose, CA area prolly have half that combined...and they are all huge malls.

Have you found out what kind of compensation you are able to get from a deliberate fire?

The entire mall is ruined from water and smoke and in the exact segment from jcpennys to macys that this occured there are a huge numbers of stores.

jcpenny,nordstorm and macys combine for over 8,000 jobs and those are just 3 of the 240 stores and food places. Micky d's has 30 people and its a tiny tiny spot.

Good. The guy's a prick, but nobody who lost any of their business should have to suffer for that.....
