Pet Supermarket in South Lake Tahoe has reopened after being closed for a few days last week.

The store on Emerald Bay Road closed because an illness among employees was thought to be the result of something they had contracted in the building. A store employee said the building was found to have nothing to do with the illnesses.

Lake Tahoe News was deferred to corporate offices in Florida, which are not open on Sunday, so what the illness was and why the building may have been a factor are not known.

Pet Supermarkets are mostly found in the southeast, with the only stores on this side of the country being in South Lake Tahoe and Sparks.
