10 years ago today, our day started like any other at the store. Then, late that afternoon, the most unimaginable thing happened, and our lives changed in an instant. Clearwater Market had been destroyed in a fire.
After taking a few days to process what had happened, the four of us gathered for dinner (and a lot of wine) to discuss our next steps. We agreed that this wasn't the end—it was the beginning of something new.
From the day of the fire to reopening, it was a solid 11 months filled with countless questions that needed answering, decisions that needed to be made and many moments of chaos. Running a store is one thing; rebuilding it is a whole different story.
Looking back now, we couldn't be more grateful and humbled by the incredible support we received from our family, friends, and customers—then and now. ❤️
A decade later & from the bottom of our hearts, we want to take a moment to recognize this day and thank everyone who helped turn our tragedy into something truly spectacular.
With gratitude,
Peter, Erika, Alex & Taylor
