As well as the entire stock of food products in the store, at least 25 carcasses of beef and several slaughtered pigs were lost. All that remains of the building are the charred walls. Mr. Merner, the owner of the establishment, is holidaying in Puerto Rico and was not able to be contacted at the time of the fire.
