The entire Marion City Square is still closed to the public following a partial roof collapse at one of the shopping center’s buildings on Monday, May 23. A representative with the Texas-based company that owns the property said Wednesday he and others are waiting for final repairs to the sprinkler system before the shopping center can be reopened for business.
On Wednesday, some of the orange-and-white barrels at the entrances were moved aside so people could travel through the parking lot again. However, the businesses were still closed as of noon on Wednesday. “I don’t think what is going on within the walls of the shopping center should affect the parking lot,” said Chase Lansford with Marion City Square, LLC, of Fort Worth, Texas.
Chase Lansford with Marion City Square, LLC, of Fort Worth, Texas said Wednesday the Rose’s store, which is in a separate building, had to be closed because the water line that feeds Rose’s building is the same water line that feeds the rest of the shopping center. He said the Marion Fire Department deemed the shopping center’s buildings unsafe until they have an operating sprinkling system.
A sign on the door of Rose’s says the store could reopen as of Thursday but that is not certain. Chase Lansford with Marion City Square, LLC, of Fort Worth, Texas said Wednesday he and his company are waiting to make sure that the sprinkler system for the complex is operating properly and the Marion Fire Department deems it safe for occupancy again.
