Store reopens after gas leak
The Whole Foods grocery store in Persimmon Place in Dublin reopened its doors to customers on Wednesday after being closed for several days due to a gas leak inside the building, according to a store representative.
The Alameda County Fire Department responded late Sunday morning to reports of a gas leak at the store Dublin Boulevard, according to ACFD officials. Upon inspection from the fire crew, a leak was detected in one of the store’s refrigeration units and employees and shoppers were evacuated.
The Dublin store remained closed until Wednesday as crews continued to work inside the building. No injuries were reported due to the incident.
