Cafe Olli has faced multiple challenges including equipment repairs and a business slowdown. The recent arson attack destroyed $2,000 worth of firewood, adding to their hardships.
General manager Cassandra Petersen noted that the fire at Olli was extinguished quickly, but the chemicals used rendered the wood unusable, compounding the financial strain on the cafe.
Despite the setbacks, Cafe Olli managed to reopen shortly afterward, thanks to reserve firewood and community support. A GoFundMe raised nearly $7,000 to help them recover from the fire.
Co-owner Siobhan Speirits expressed gratitude for the community's response, emphasizing the supportive donations and the overwhelming turnout of patrons who helped the cafe bounce back after the incident.
