At least two area businesses had major impacts from our current stretch of cold weather.
On Sunday, Bruffs Sports Bar and Grill had to close early after at least one water pipe broke. The restaurant will be open Monday.
On Saturday, the Dollar General in Cottonwood Falls had to shut down early for a different reason. Store manager Shelly Robinson has posted on social media the store does not have any heat. Initially, the issue was reported as a possible gas leak, although Sheriff Jacob Welsh says the issues could be with the store’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. There is no word on when the store will reopen.
