The Court then reversed the jury's verdict because it failed to adequately compensate for business damages; addressing the claims of one of the appellants, the Court stated

    Finding loss of going concern where entire segments of a residential and business community eliminated drug store's customer base

    We note, however, that where a business is transferable, the business owner may recover for certain business interruption expenses. See In re Park Site on Private Claim 16, 247 Mich. 1; 225 N.W. 498 (1929). It should be clear that recovery for business interruption damages and recovery for going concern value are mutually exclusive since one assumes the continuation of the business and the other assumes its loss.
