Our hearts break for our neighbors. 💔The link for their GoFundMe will be posted here in a comment.

This has been catastrophic. Our locksmiths felt this blast and it was other worldly. The door of our building opened with force, insulation still scattered all over our property. Many have commented on the local articles discouraging assistance, saying that the family will receive a big payout… let’s remember that in the meantime, we have children who lost everything they own, just days before Christmas. These folks are on a long road to recovery and have no where to go when discharged. They’re going to need socks, underwear, groceries! Every bit will help.

"They have burns all over their bodies and broken bones." For the first time, Jorge Duenas Ponce is speaking, giving a voice to his brother, sister and niece who were inside the Hayward home when it exploded.

We’re open this week- Our lot is open for customer parking… slow to enter and exit the driveway opening.

Traffic is still being redirected via Paradise Blvd. But you’re clear to access us via Hesperian/Meekland. We’re grateful to all our customers making the trek!

An East Bay community continues to recover from an explosion last week that leveled three buildings and sent six people, including three PG&E workers, to the hospital. http://nbcbay.com/PjeEoGF

We are closed today folks- our neighborhood was impacted by a horrible tragedy today. Here at the shop we are safe- but our hearts go out to our neighbors! We are waiting on the safe restoration of utilities so we can resume our normal operations.

We are closed the remainder of today due to the explosion and subsequent power outage in the neighborhood. Per the county- please avoid the area. We require power to reopen and have been told it may be 48 hours…

Our thoughts are with all those impacted.

Text us for any urgent needs.

BOLO- On Tuesday, December 17th @ approximately 11:35am, one of our employee vehicles was struck in a hit-and-run accident in front of our location.

We are grateful that our employees, customers and local pedestrians were not harmed by this reckless driver. Unfortunately, the individual fled the scene headed down Paradise Blvd in a nearly disabled vehicle.

We promptly called 911 and CHP has made a report.

If anyone has cameras on Paradise/Langton Way/Harmony Drive/Harmony Court/Haven St/Mission Blvd caught footage of the driver of this disabled vehicle, we’d love to receive it: [email protected].
