This is my town.  So sad as they are a great business and since we started building our house here 9 years ago, we have been loyal customers.  I sure hope some how they can rebuild.  Also wondering in the road construction had anything to do with it.  Prayers are with the owners and grateful everyone is ok physically.

Sadly, people are quick to jump to the conclusion that it was for insurance money. How jaded we have become.  Instead, they should be glad no one was hurt and sad that a business was destroyed.

I agree.  This company is a huge staple in Manchester.  I did see over the last few days the RDK Kleinschmidt trucks out so I hope that means they are still trying to do some business and they will rebuild.
