The University Heights Community Association would like to express our deepest sympathies to the business owners, their employees, families and all those who were affected by the recent fire at Stadium Shopping Centre.
Some of the businesses have been part of the mall for decades and have been a cherished part of the identity of University Heights. They were more than just stores and restaurants, they represented places to meet and build relationships, and places where we gathered to celebrate many milestones in our lives . Ours is a tight knit community where these businesses, their employees and families have grown with the community and have become very much a part of the fabric of University Heights.
Our community association has set up Go Fund Me pages to help the other businesses affected by the fire:
Billingsgate Fish Market – www.gofundme.com/ccatddwc
Cobs Bakery – www.gofundme.com/aratj64s
Saigon Star – www.gofundme.com/hpathdak
Candace Schneider, the manager of The Cat House has started a GoFundMe page to raise funds to rebuild The Cat House. www.gofundme.com/pca4sddw Over $20,000 has been raised in less than 5 days. This will allow the store to open a small, pop-up shop before Christmas while its insurance claim is processed.
The Phui family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with reopening the Hi-Ball Restaurant in a new location. www.gofundme.com/beafx5f8
