The Cooper’s grocery store in the  was closed last night  and a sign says untill further notice as they have no power. At 6:30 a hydro crew had  the underground service bared and looking for a reason for electrical failure. This morning the same crew says it’s the transformer and it is not one of theirs. so its the stores problem, or the building owner.

No word on the condition of frozen and cooled produce and when it will reopen at this writing.

At 11:am a official said that there is a generator truck coming from Vancouver and refrigerated trucks for produce as well. Joan Nan is saying it is a matter of hours before reopening.
