"Jeanie Chong, owner of Tous les Jours bakery, stated, 'The closure of both locations has been financially devastating. We spent years building not just the business, but a community around them.'"
"'We invested significant time and effort in training our team, and unfortunately we had to let them go on very short notice,' Chong added, highlighting the impact of the closure on her employees."

PulteGroup plans to convert the site into a 147-townhome development, including affordable housing and commercial space. The closure of these businesses has had a significant financial impact on their owners and employees.
