Wal-Mart Reopens Two Stores Damaged by Hurricane Katrina

Bentonville, Ark., Wal-Mart celebrates the reopening of two New Orleans-area stores seven months after Hurricane Katrina devastated the region. One of the supercenters opened last week, but still has only temporary flooring, while the other store will reopen Friday. Two additional stores in the New Orleans area remain closed because of damage, and no decision has been made as yet on whether they will reopen. More than 120 Wal-Mart stores closed during the wrath of the hurricane.
