Today we had a major catastrophe at the restaurant. Due to the extreme temperature, we suffered multiple failures in our plumbing and sprinkler system sometime early this morning putting 4-5 inches of water in the entire restaurant. With the immense history of the building, its absolutely heartbreaking to see it in this condition, especially after all the hard work that has been put in the last 5 1/2 months since taking the restaurant over. There are a lot of unknowns at this time, but what is clear is that this is not going to be a quick fix. We are looking at extensive damage and what will probably be a very large construction project. My insurance agent, Bobby Shomo, was onsite in minutes and ServiceMaster Restore was onsite within hours and already working on water/mold mitigation. My incredible staff helped for hours before ServiceMaster arrived and I'm SO appreciative of them for that. It may seem like yet ANOTHER mountain to climb, but I am so thankful to have the support of my staff, friends, family and community. I really just want to thank everyone who has helped make this terrible day a little better with their help and words of support and encouragement. This too shall pass and we will rebuild bigger and better than ever! I will share updates as I have them and all of the Calvin Rockett family can't wait to see your faces again soon. ❤️
