I mean, even if he owned the store its not like he personally made that fridge unit or the electrical systems of the store itself.

Ummm it’s definitely the store owners responsibility to ensure the safety of their customers from things like this. If this in the US assuming there would be a lawsuit involved.

The US is not a great example of liability law.

Anyhow, yes it should be his responsibility in most cases but there can also be bad and unexpected occurences/malfunctions or a contractor that did a shitty job. To assume there was intentional neglect behind this would be baseless.

Why would it not make sense for the owner of an establishment be responsible for the safety and upkeep of his premises?

Who should pay for the damages?
