Fire destroyed their businesses and livelihood. But it didn’t crush their spirit.A little more than a year after the June 2011 fire that destroyed four businesses in the strip mall just south of Golden West Elementary on North Main Street, two of the victims are rising from the ashes.Aki’s Food to Go and Grocery which occupied the east end of the building complex is getting ready to reopen in the former La Altena Mercado located in the small neighborhood mall on the 300 block of North Main Street. Aki’s owner Elda Paneda said she hopes to reopen by Nov. 1 when the building renovation is completed.“I went through a lot but I want to do it again,” Paneda said about her decision to pick up the pieces after she lost her store at the worst possible economic times.For months after the fire and finding herself suddenly unemployed, she went around looking for a job but with no luck, said the mother of three, the youngest of whom is a sophomore at Lathrop High School.
