Former NFL player Laurent Duvernay-Tardif announced on social media this week that the production center for his co-owned bakery chain, Le Pain dans les voiles, had been heavily damaged by a fire.
“Today is not a very happy day,” he said in a video posted to social media on March 31.
Duvernay-Tardif added that nobody was injured in the incident, but that it’s a “tough blow” for the team. He thanked the firefighters for their efforts.
“I think there were over a hundred fighting the flames,” he said. “If it hadn’t been for you, it could have been worse.”
