This is what our store should look like!We are sad to report that Faire Frou Frou was the victim of a water main break in Studio City, CA this weekend. Our entire shopping center was submerged in water varying from 6" deep to 4' deep, and unfortunately mud and water soaked our entire shop. That being said, a clean-up crew was required to remove all items from our store to thoroughly clean so as to avoid mold damage. The project of assessing exactly how much was damaged in terms of merchandise, furniture and fixtures remains to be done this week.
In any event, we are hopeful that we will get our store back up and running by some point in October.
We will certainly keep you updated with when we expect to re-open our shop. Let's hope we can wrap all of this up quickly!
Luckily our online store is still unaffected, so if you need your frou-frou fix, shop with us at www.fairefroufrou.com.
So sorry to hear about the water damage. Fingers crossed for you having as little damage as possible!
ReplyDeleteOh no! This is so awful to see...I can't imagine the stress this must be causing you. Good luck with the repair work, and I hope Faire Frou Frou opens up soon!
ReplyDeleteYou poor girls....what a awful thing to happen. Hopefully, all your lovely things will be hanging back where they should be soon. Thinking of you and wish I could help.
ReplyDeleteNo! I'm so sad to see that you're going through this! I wish I was there to help you clean up the area.

Hi Neighbors
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the flood. I know you will come back stronger.
Barbara, Robin, Sunshine
so sad to see such a lovely store washed away;-( boo hooooooo!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow - I'm sorry to hear that. How is the shop now? Unfortunately with outside ground water coming into the shop they would have had to throw everything away that got wet - even sheetrock that got wet would be cut out and replaced. The reason for that is because its classed as category 3 water (grossly unsanitary) because it’s unknown what contaminants the water would have picked up while flowing down the street. I hope everything is sorted out now for you.
