Raleigh police are searching for two people who crashed a car into two local businesses — a potato chip store and a gym — on Hillsborough Street and left the scene early Monday morning. 
A driver and passenger plowed into Carolina Kettle, a kettle-cooked potato chip store, around 12:30 a.m. The crash left a sizable hole in the brick and corrugated metal wall that faces Hillsborough Street and hit the back wall of Goff Performance, a locally-owned gym.
Witnesses told the Raleigh Police Department they saw two people leave the car behind. Raleigh police searched for them in the surrounding area. 
The crash left extensive damage to the businesses and car, according to police.
Both owners were at the scene early Monday morning to survey the damage.
“It’s not ideal,” said Daniel Goff, who owns Goff Performance. “I’m going to close classes at least for today and make sure the building in structurally sound … hopefully we’ll be back open tomorrow.”
“They hit our cash register, so we’ll have to get one of those,” said Josh Monahan, who owns Carolina Kettle. “Hopefully [it’s] just a couple days.”
The WRAL Breaking News Tracker was there as a car was being towed. The front bumper was crushed in. As of 2:30 a.m., no one has been arrested. 
WRAL News is working to find out who was involved, if they are hurt and what led up to the crash. 
WRAL reported about Carolina Kettle’s opening in 2017. Monahan, a North Carolina State University graduate, opened the retail snack store to create a central location to sell the chips and feed the hungry. A donation is made to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina every time a bag is sold.
