Richfield Restaurant Gives Day's Profits To Loyal Customers After Devastating Fire

MNNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Richfield couple has spent the pandemic supporting one of their favorite local restaurants -- but they didn't expect it to return the favor.

On Tuesday night, Fireside Foundry gave 100% of its profits to Tracy and Bill Jenson. The longtime customers lost their house and two cars in a fire last month. Fireside's owners decided they had to help, even though the pandemic has them operating at half-capacity.

"To be so generous and to give back to people like us, you know is just, it's unbelievable," Tracy Jenson said.

They say their neighborhood truly feels like a family.

"It's been a rough year, and to do this, this is just amazing," Bill Jenson said.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the Jensons.
