News10NBC’s Declan Stablow spoke with owners Krista Hanny and Troy Bennett, who said it feels good to be back open but also a little bit weird. They said they’ve had a lot of community support, but Bennett said after the burglary, seeing the store empty became the new normal.
Security footage from the night of the burglary shows the thieves leaving FOMO with garbage cans. They left the store shelves empty.
On Saturday, those shelves are once again filled up with designer handbags, shoes and more. The owners said they were able to build back their stock thanks to people coming in to sell old items.
Even with the community help, they said it took a lot of work to get back open.
“It was a lot of sleepless nights and just really determination and really trying to focus all this like pain into something positive,” Bennett said.
“We buy each piece like one, you know, each piece is a single item we buy from someone else. So it’s been a lot to try and get piece by piece by piece enough to have a store open again,” Hanny added.
The owners said that three weeks ago they weren’t sure it would’ve been possible to get back open. The thieves took a total of 181 designer items.
The owners didn’t have any updates to share regarding where the thieves or the stolen items are at now. The owners are still asking anyone with gently used designer items that they’re considering selling to bring them in.
