Owner Pierre Menard said he was uncertain whether he would rebuilt, mostly because he hadn't been able to contact his insurer because of the Christmas holiday. "I'll know in a couple of days when I find out what's covered, what's not covered," Menard said. Reopening the store "is the goal, but we'll see."
Matt Sutkoski, Burlington Free Press Writer wrote a nice article in today's Burlington Free Press. I told Maryann last night that I was sure the other two stores would have to make some adjustments. I found Minor's out of Booth Brothers Fat Free Milk last night. Lots of people went into Steeple Market to buy their milk as Pierre had the cheapest prices around. $3.98 a gallon - I paid $4.40 at Minor's the other day. McKenzie Hot Dogs at Steeple's were $3.99 a pound while Hannaford's is now charging $5.29.
It will be difficult to go to Minor's or Nan's for the many walk-ins that went in during the day, either from the school or residents close by.
