A large section of roof on the Riverdale Super A Foods building collapsed last Friday afternoon, forcing the closure of the store.
Super A owner Scott McCarthy told the Star Tuesday there were no injuries, as those inside had vacated the store at 9 a.m., when they started hearing creaking and banging coming from the roof, with some sagging visible.
“That was enough for us to get everybody out of the building,” he said. “That is the important thing; nobody got hurt.”
While he’s hoping to reopen the gas bar later this week, McCarthy said, it’s difficult at this point to say how long repairs to the roof will take, or how much they’ll cost.
