A Saskatoon small business saw an outpouring of community support after it was vandalized.
“Our front windows, double pane, were smashed right through with rocks,” said A & R Perogies Myrna Olynick told CTV News.
Nothing was taken according to the owner, and the vandals also hit other buildings in the area Sunday night over the Thanksgiving long weekend.
The windows have since been replaced in the small building and protective metal screens were installed for extra protection.
But the damage and inconvenience of the whole ordeal was overshadowed a few days later. A customer took to social media asking the public to help the local business out, stop by and purchase some of their food as they work to get repairs done.
“Over 300 people shared it on the first day. It has been overwhelming the support we have gotten,” she says.
Thousands of people saw the post which resulted in a boom in business.
