Social media on Sunday was host to a number of entries reporting the frozen and refrigerated displays in some grocers in the Gainesville area were bare and said power outages were to blame.
Walmart and Publix were specifically mentioned. So, 97.5 Glory FM contacted corporate media relations with each.
A spokeswoman for Walmart said late Monday morning that the affected store “lost power for 11 hours due to the storms – but I confirmed with the store we received deliveries last night and this morning, and we are completely restocked in all categories.”
Publix officials had not responded to our request as of 1:00 Monday afternoon.
