Several shops in Larchmont have been without heat for about a week.
A gas line ruptured Tuesday at the Village Square Shopping Center on Boston Post Road.
Village Square Bagels owner John Mercaldi says it's costing him thousands of dollars because he is one of the biggest bagel distributors in the area.
However, the tough times are bringing the shop owners closer together. Everything Hair is using the bagel store's electric water heater because it is without heat and hot water.
"It's not as hot as it normally is, but it's certainly much more comfortable for all the clients," says stylist Francesca Russo.
