Walmart doesn't know when its St.Catharines store will be able to reopen.
Director of Corporate Affairs, Anika Malik tells CKTB the Fourth Avenue store is closed for repairs following a fire last week and unfortunately they will not be open in time for the Easter long weekend.
She says thankfully all associates and customers were safe following the Tuesday blaze.
Malik says nearby stores located at 525 Welland Ave. and 285 Geneva St. are ready to welcome and serve valued customers as they prepare for the long weekend.
She says store associates continue to receive Walmart compensation and are helping to support the re-opening or are working at nearby locations.
