Goodbye, 99-cent store.
You kept me alive on my
(miserable lack of) income for years,

I hope no one was injured.
I had been hoping this was going to be good news. You deserve to have your life of enforced frugality end.

A friend of mine commented "That must have caused dollars of damage".
Look on the bright side - they might have a fire sale.

Ouch, that sucks.
