A vehicle crashed into Golden Harvest Foods in St. Paul on Monday morning, narrowly missing a cashier. The truck entered the store, striking the register where a cashier was situated. While the cashier was not hit, debris caused minor bleeding. The incident occurred around 10:00 AM, with a few customers present.
Golden Harvest Foods, a business established in 1998, sustained significant damage. This marks another challenge for the market, which previously underwent renovations after a 2018 fire. Officials from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture assessed the site and deemed it safe. The store aims to reopen on Tuesday, with preparations underway to secure the building.
City Council Member Nelsie Yang described the crash as "frightening" and urged continued community support for the small business and its employees as they recover and reopen.
