Over the years Kellie Davis has seen people get married, throw baby showers, and then throw their kids’ baby showers, all at Valley Brewing Co., Stockton, the iconic pub she owns with her husband Eric on the Miracle Mile.
That’s why, when an electrical fire shut down the restaurant on Thursday morning, the outpouring of support Davis received from customers was overwhelming.
“It was absolutely incredible,” Davis said. With every call or text, Davis would think, “you just soothed my soul,” she said.
About 9 a.m. Thursday a neighbor standing in an adjacent parking lot noticed smoke billowing from Valley Brew's building and called 911, Eric Davis said. At about 9:30 a.m. the Stockton Fire Department arrived with seven trucks, Davis said. They entered through the pub’s back door and shut off its electricity and gas supplies, he said.
