Drew's Tobacco World?

I was driving east on 44th today and once I crossed the I-35 Demographic line I noticed that this long time private business was shuttered up. Does anyone know when and why? Just wondering.

I know Wheeler's Meat Market was in that same building and they lost their roof during the tornado this May, forcing them to shut down for several months for repairs. It's likely that a similar situation happened with Drew's. If that's the case, then Drew's probably lost a good chunk of their inventory, which could make things extremely difficult for them. I have no idea if they're coming back... but I certainly hope they do!

Thank you. I had forgotten about the tornado.
