Well whoever owns the whole strip of those stores is probably been targeted by the gang who own the whole strip of bars down the road!
Maybe the burglars are helping the vape shops before legislation does away with them, then the retail space can be converted to “barber” shops, we never seem to have enough of those, nearly empty all day every day giving special time to those that venture in.
