Maine Businesses to Reopen After Deadly Mass Shooting

Community support encourages owners of Schemengees Bar & Grille and Just-In-Time Recreation to rebuild and continue their operations.

Following Maine's deadliest mass shooting, the owners of the affected businesses, Schemengees Bar & Grille and Just-In-Time Recreation, initially believed they would never reopen.
Kathy Lebel, co-owner of Schemengees, decided to reopen after receiving support from the community, including the deaf community, four of whom were killed at the bar.
Lebel plans to relocate the bar to help erase the memory of the shooting night but insists on keeping the name.
Justin and Samantha Juray, owners of Just-In-Time Recreation, are further along with their plans to reopen, with support from the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America.
Tom Giberti, a 69-year-old employee at the bowling alley who saved at least four children during the shooting, is among the 17 employees returning to work upon reopening.
