Our day started off as a bit of a shock when a fire consumed our neighboring store within minutes, at around 9:30am. Luckily, those of us who were in the building were able to make it out on time and no one from either store was hurt. Given the circumstances, the damages to our store were minimal, but we will be closed for at least the next few days to repair the dropped ceiling in our dining room and fix electrical work, as our gas & electricity completely stopped working as well.
We are truly saddened to see this incident unfold onto our neighbor, especially as we’ve witnessed them spending months of genuine passion and effort to remodel and get the mart open for business in the past year.
We’ve spoken to the owner, and it’s safe to say that everyone is under a great deal of shock. Please show your support to them as they navigate this unforeseen time.
We will provide updates on our store’s repairs and when we will be able to open again. Red Chili San Jose is still open with regular business hours. Thank you all for your understanding. 🙏
