They had 26 stores closed all or part of this past Monday, 18 stores closed on Tuesday and 16 stores closed today. Eleven of the 16 stores closed today are closed due to power outages and/or roof and storefront damage. They have not been able to determine the status of the remaining five stores; two of which are in the New Orleans area."
