Also in Key West,\u00a0Kermit&#8217;s Key Lime Pie Shoppe\u00a0says, &#8220;Because the island of Key West is still under mandatory evacuation, we have no idea what we&#8217;re returning to, since cell service, internet, electricity, and water have been cut off since 11 AM Sunday. That being said, our warehouse and manufacturing kitchen in Central Florida are up and running after a one-day Irma delay. We&#8217;re giving 20% of our online sales this week to local Key West disaster relief. Our island WILL return to its magical self again soon!!
