Hurricanes added $8 million to sales in the third quarter of 2005

 

Last year, hurricanes affected a number of Grainger branches in Florida and along the Gulf Coast: six in Florida on August 26, six along the Gulf Coast on August 29, four along the Gulf Coast on August 30 and three along the Gulf Coast on August 31. The branches were closed for some period of time, negatively affecting sales at the end of August 2005, but as customers rebuilt in the hurricane-damaged areas, the company’s sales were positively affected in September 2005.
