ROANOKE, Va. – Just two months after a devastating fire reduced their business to rubble, Noke Van Co. is officially back open and building again.
The April 4 blaze destroyed their southeast Roanoke shop, taking with it more than 18 vans, including Chris’s Coffee and Custard’s food truck, and over $4 million in tools and equipment. But thanks to community support, grit, and a team that refused to give up, the company has found new ground to stand on — literally.
