“Our family is committed to serving our community, and we hope to rebuild and reopen our store as soon as possible.”
On Feb. 28, Riverside-based Goodwin and Sons braved the storm and pulled a semi-truck up Highway 138 using a work truck and tractor to restock the grocery store, according to Kaleb Goodwin.
“The community was extremely appreciative and thrilled to be re-stocked on essential groceries,” Goodwin wrote in an email.But a week later, the winter weather decisively closed the store. During early morning hours, the roof of the 43,000-square-foot store “began to cave in the back storage room,” Goodwin wrote. “After careful consideration, we made the difficult decision to call Building & Safety and close our doors to the public, not allowing anyone into the store.”
Kaleb Goodwin’s uncle, David Goodwin, was still in the store as it closed, attempting to grab items for customers before leaving, when he heard loud noises and escaped seconds before the entire roof collapsed, escaping with what Kaleb Goodwin said were only minor injuries. “We are extremely thankful to God that no one was hurt in the unprecedented catastrophe. The fact that this could happen to our family-owned business during this snowstorm is beyond belief.”“After 39 years of hard work and saving, my grandfather, George Goodwin, purchased the lakefront land where the store was built,” Kaleb Goodman wrote. “My father, Martin Goodwin, designed and built the store in 1985.
