Fire officials evacuated the Harris Teeter grocery store in Gainesville on Tuesday after concerns about the roof collapsing.
Firefighters were called to the store at 7910 Crescent Park Drive about 5 p.m. after reports of a cracked ceiling. The store was evacuated a short time later and building inspectors were called to see if it is structurally safe.
By 7 p.m., the store was deemed safe. Ice and snow build up had caused a crack near the seafood department, but nothing that would cause a collapse, officials said. The store is back in business.
