I am surprised those stores can stay open in that state. That looks like wall to wall cardboard and chemicals.

There was a fire at one of my local (Canadian) ones, and it seemed like it was closed rebuilding for almost a year, I’m wondering how much delay was investigation and how much was remediation.

Burnt plastics is one of the more rancid things I’ve come across in my industrial career.
