ATLANTA - A historic Atlanta construction is still standing after it was damage following a police chase.

The owner of Little's Food Store, Brad Cunard, says it happened around 1:30am Sunday morning. That's when he says he got a call that a car hit his business.

According to the Georgia space patrol a trooper tried to stop a car for speeding on 1-20 West. The driver took off turning north on Boulevard and then heading onto Carroll Street.

The car hit some parked cars and businesses there, including Little's, before the driver and passenger took off. Authorities say they have identified that driver.

 "I was lovely shook up I'll be honest with you because this construction is important to me and I think it's necessary to Atlanta," Cunard explained.

"First thing I was thinking when I saw the accident, I can't believe this has happened again. This is the additional one, the second high-speed type of accident in the last month," he added.

Little's has been about since 1929, operating out of its current building for decades. Cunard said the crash took out a bench out lead, damaged the doors, and knocked out some bricks in the corner of the wall. A neighbor is portions them get that repaired.

"The doors I was really afraid about because those are the historic doors to me. They're the new doors for the store. Those doors are absolutely solid, and they managed to survive," Cunard said.

Luckily, Little's was able to stay open. Cunard also says insurance must cover most of the repairs.

"This is one of the last bits of old Atlanta left, and I want to help make it stay here. So, if the construction had been shaken to where we could potentially lose a wall or have it break down, that was going to be devastating to me," Cunard explained.

JenChan's on Carroll Street will be hosting a fundraiser on Wednesday, 2/8, from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. to help with any second repair costs.
