A partial roof collapse shut down the Woodman’s Market on Madison’s east side during a rainstorm late Monday, the Wisconsin State Journal reports. The accident flooded part of the store but reportedly did not cause any injuries.
Customers were promptly asked to move to the front of the store and leave the building, and several Madison Fire Department vehicles responded to the scene. The cause of the collapse was not immediately evident.
The store, at 3817 Milwaukee St., had recently undergone a $4 million remodel that expanded its meat department and deli and raised the ceiling over the produce department. The roof was also reportedly set to be reconfigured as part of the project as multiple expansions left parts of the roof at different levels, creating leakage problems during major storms.
