GREENSBORO, N.C. — Deep Roots Market will be reopening Tuesday after having to close down following a burglary Monday.
In a post, the business said: The damage has been cleared and temporary construction put up. We were extremely fortunate to not suffer any structural damage so we have rearranged our store to allow people in through the side door (aka the Magnolia door). As of now, we are cleared to open tomorrow, Tuesday, May 16th at 8:00 am.
The amount of support offered by our community is unbelievable. The next couple of days will be wobbly as we regain footing but please show your support by shopping at the co-op and continuing to share your positivity. Your business will help us turn this around and get the co-op back up and running in full swing.
The Greensboro Police Department said a suspect was arrested after breaking into the store and stealing a cryptocurrency ATM.
Greensboro police said Daniel Nelson of Greensboro was arrested and charged with the following:
- Felony Breaking & Entering
- Larceny after Breaking & Entering
- Felony Possession of Stolen Property
- Felony Conspiracy
- Safecracking
Police said the ATM machine has since been recovered.
Deep Roots Market President, Ashleigh Odom, said "This is an unfortunate event, but we have a strong community that is behind us. The social media outpour today has shown how strong our community really is. I know that other businesses have been affected so we are doing our best to keep everybody in our prayers, and hopefully, we will get up and running back in business as soon as possible.”
Across the street is The Borough Market and Bar. Owner, Kam Hardy-Culler, said burglaries like this, hit close to home.
“When something breaks or someone steals something, they’re literally stealing from us. Food from our table, money from our employees. It’s heartbreaking," she said.
This investigation is ongoing.
