The main exchange lost part of its roof, which in turn caused massive flooding inside the store. Most of the main store will need to be renovated. Latte Stone also took a big hit causing several food operations to shut down. His primary concern is to bring up the refrigeration units within 30 to 60 days, said Pecor. Some of the early concerns after the storm were layaways at Four Seasons and the main store, and the ability for customers to finish their Christmas shopping.
Patrons can now shop as well as pay for and pick up layaway merchandise at both stores.
Other concerns to resolve were check cashing and Deferred Payment Plan payments. The computer support equipment had problems tolerating the moisture. But by Monday afternoon, technicians brought the system back on line, and DPP payments, check cashing and credit card transactions are now possible.
