The carbon dioxide fumes were first reported around 4:35 p.m., prompting fire officials to evacuate the Airport Center Road store, which reopened a little more than an hour later, the outlet says.

Four employees who complained of dizziness were taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution, according to the news outlet.

Han-Le-Co Fire Company officials did not immediately return a call from Daily Voice Wednesday evening.
