Clark County authorities have deemed seven businesses off Tropicana and Pecos in Las Vegas unsafe due to a fire that occurred on Saturday afternoon. The electrical panel of the strip mall caught fire, and many of the affected businesses are without power partially or entirely. The shop owners suspect that homeless individuals near the utility boxes may have caused the fire.
Scolaro’s Pizza is one of the affected businesses, and Joey Scolaro expressed his frustration over having to discard a significant amount of food and products due to the lack of power. Despite raising concerns with Colliers Property Management, which manages the shopping center, Scolaro feels that their issues have not been adequately addressed.
Galvez, who owns Familia Tattoo, has experienced disruptions to his business since its opening. Security concerns and building issues have plagued him and his wife, who manage the business together. Despite raising these issues with Colliers Property Management, Galvez remains frustrated with their lack of response and action. He feels that their recurring problems have made it difficult for them to succeed in business.
The Clark County Fire Department is still investigating the cause of the fire, but multiple shop owners suspect that homeless individuals near the utility boxes could be responsible for it. The situation has left many of them worried about their livelihoods and uncertain about when repairs will be completed.
The closure has also caused inconvenience for customers who were trying to do business at these locations over the weekend. However, some customers are sympathetic towards the shop owners’ struggles and are willing to wait until repairs are complete before returning.
Overall, this incident highlights the importance of proper security measures in commercial properties and how they can impact businesses’ operations adversely. It also shows how property management companies need to address recurring issues promptly and effectively to maintain customer trust and loyalty in their properties.
