Family-owned Philadelphia pizza shop reopens weeks after mother and daughter shot during attempted robbery
PHILADELPHIA - A Mayfair family-owned pizza shop is officially back open, almost three weeks after police say a 19-year-old man attempted to rob the store and shot two employees—the mother and daughter who co-own the family business."I’m just happy to be alive, I can’t say it enough," said Stacy Karasavas, who co-owns the shop with her mother.From the moment they opened their doors at 2 p.m. on Monday, the phone didn’t stop ringing—not only from customers, but people checking in to see how the family is doing."This is our second home, you know, we’re here more than we are at home, so we have to reclaim it, and we’re back behind the counter, and we feel good," Stacy said.Back on March 8th, Philadelphia Police say Kaleb Bridges, 19, walked into the business on Frankford Avenue just before 9 p.m., armed and demanding money.The Karasavas’ say they complied with demands, but Bridges fired his gun, striking Stacy in the shoulder so critically that the bullet is still lodged underneath her scapula.
