DENVER — The owner of two Denver restaurants is facing back-to-back crises after a U-Haul truck crashed into one of his locations, forcing it to close, just as he was preparing to reopen a second restaurant that had been shut down for months following a fire.
Jason Alfonso owns both Ollie and Park’s and Odyssey Italian Restaurant. Odyssey has been closed since mid-February after an exhaust fan on the outside of the building caught fire and spread into the attic. Alfonso said he was hoping to reopen Odyssey within the next month or so when the crash happened.
Denver7’s Ethan Carlson spoke to the people affected by these incidents. Watch the story in the video player below:
