Jake Keet surveys damage left by tornado in Little Rock

Arkansas Business encountered Keet, whose family owns Petit & Keet in Little Rock, as he was surveying the destruction for the first time.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — “Man this is just —,” Jake Keet stopped mid-sentence as he saw the tornado damage to Breckenridge Village.

Keet of JTJ Restaurants and his family recently acquired the retail center on North Rodney Parham Road off Interstate 430 and had been working to bring it back to life with new eateries and a cosmetic uplift. But on Friday afternoon, everything changed.

"We basically... Oh my God," he said. 

Dozens in the storm's path were injured. No deaths had been reported Friday evening.
