Hello Friends! We are making progress!
First we want to say MUCH THANKS to the person(s) who called in the smoke being seen from our restaurant and to Nacogdoches Fire Dept and all responders for everything they had done for Clawdaddy's Mkt. Looking through the thorough reports, they were on scene amazingly quick and jumped right in as a full team and handled the situation promptly and professionally! They saved our business from being completely destroyed!
Also so much thanks to our State Farm agents for making this process a little more bearable. They have been working on scene and behind scene tirelessly from day 1 and we can't thank Jamie Rodriguez and their team enough for all the support during this time.
Thank you to all of our friends, family, loyal customers, and all of the amazing community support system. All of the calls, text, coming by etc and cant forget those of you that came to the unexpected event our staff put on.
Speaking of that.. Our Clawdaddy's family is like no other We've ever seen. These sweet young and older adults came to us without question, to jump in the middle of everything getting their hands dirty with the rest of us. We didnt have to call for help. THEY SHOWED UP!! Cried with us, held us, and helped us carry the weight of this unexpected tragedy. We cant express how much love has been shown to us. For those of you that couldn't understand why they would put on a bake sale or a carwash when we have insurance... Well what would you do if you wanted to help but didnt know how. These babies jumped into action and gave their all where they could and we cant be MORE PROUD OF THEM!! We thank Clawdaddy's "mommas" that gave their time helped them bake and whatever they needed as well. They suprised Ricky and I when we got back into town with this, we had no idea they were event doing it. They all wanted to surprise us! It is a blessing to know that they all care so much! We do not hire you as just an employee to fill a spot. When you are hired we are looking to add you as a part of our family. FAMILY is everything! It seems that we did just that!!
I'm sorry for rambling but we love each and every one and we are going to come back stronger!
We will be posting progress for those that want to follow along in our journey!
