Vandalism Strikes Local Business in Broad Daylight as Rock Smashes Through Window

For the team behind Olla Express, Monday afternoon brought an unexpected wave of shock and sadness. Around 2 p.m., a loud crash shattered the day’s rhythm—and one of their windows. Glass sprayed across the space, leaving the room dangerous to enter. Luckily, no one was inside when it happened.

What at first seemed like an accident quickly proved to be something more troubling. With help from alert neighbors, the Olla Express team learned the damage wasn’t caused by a random event or a bird—someone had thrown a large rock directly into their building.

More Than Damage—A Blow to the Heart of a Small Business

In an emotional message shared with their followers on Instagram, the business expressed the toll the vandalism had taken: “Some people think it's easy to build a business, and others think it is easier to destroy it.”

The heartbreak was real. Like many small business owners, the team at Olla Express pours energy, time, and care into their dream. Seeing that dream damaged—literally and figuratively—was deeply personal.

Asking for the Community’s Help

Olla Express is now calling on the community for support in identifying the person responsible. If anyone witnessed the incident or has any information, they’re encouraged to come forward. “Anything helps,” the business wrote, hoping for a lead that might bring a sense of closure—or justice.

A Reminder of Resilience

Despite the pain, the team remains grounded in gratitude. No one was hurt, thanks to sheer luck, and the outpouring of encouragement they’ve received has meant the world.

It’s a reminder that small businesses aren’t just places of commerce—they're labors of love and cornerstones of community. And when they hurt, the people behind them do, too.
