Like many, I first caught wind of the accident on the popular Voices from the Tri-States Facebook page. The following Monday, Big Apple Bagels in Dubuque posted to their own Facebook page with some context on the incident:

Saturday we had a car accidentally drive thru our building. Everyone is fine and Thankfully no one was hurt. Thank you to the fire dept. And police who helped us get everything taken care of. We are still OPEN! It's a little rough looking but the great food and service is still the best. Thanks for everyone's concern. We appreciate our customers so much!! - per Big Apple Bagels (Dubuque, IA)'s Facebook page

Per Judy Faulhaber, the owner/operator of the Dubuque franchise, there were no injuries to the driver nor any patrons. At this time, the cost of repairs is unknown, but there's hope that insurance will cover the damage to minimize the expenses on what is a wonderful business in the area.
