A retailer in Citrus Town Center is back open again after having to temporarily close last week following heavy rains in the region.
A sign posted on the window of GameStop on Greenback Lane on Saturday, Feb. 15, stated that the store was closed until further notice due to a “massive leak,” which was caused by the storm. The notice was signed “Management.” On the day of the closure, employees were observed to be inside the store.
On Monday, the store was back open again, but employees over the phone declined to comment, saying they were “not authorized to discuss personal information” with The Sentinel. The employee added that hours of operation are always available on their Google store listing.
Two representatives with the Sunrise MarketPlace business improvement district said via email they were unaware that GameStop had closed last week. Sunrise Marketplace Executive Director Kathilynn Carpenter said the property manager was out of the country.
On Thursday, Feb. 13, heavy rains fell across the region, according to local news reports.
Hours of operation listed on the game shop’s website say the store is open Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
GameStop is located at 7945 Greenback Ln. in the Citrus Town Center, between Wingstop and Round Table Pizza. The Citrus Town Center, located on the corner of Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane, is anchored by Sprouts, BevMo, Five Below, and Marshall’s and includes several restaurants and other retailers.
