'It took us years to get to this point... We put all of our money into this business. We literally worked seven days a week to have this space,' Delirama co-owner Cash Caris said.
The result? Thousands of pounds worth of food soiled and lost revenue totaling about $100,000.
"It took us years to get to this point. We went without. We lived in a tiny little apartment. We put all of our money into this business. We literally worked seven days a week to have this space," Caris said. After the lights went back on Friday, Caris says he was hoping to reopen his shop this coming Thursday.With the latest storm battering the Bay Area, the restaurant lost power again for several hours on Tuesday, forcing Caris to stop his scheduled shipment of food and throwing his reopening plans into disarray."It's not like we go somewhere else and make money.
"But it's not just Delirama that's been having issues for the past week or so. Businesses up and down Solano Avenue have all been dealing with power outages. Across the street, Ata Khoja tells ABC7 News his rug shop was also without power for multiple days over the past week.
