SAN ANTONIO — An east-side Walmart is back open for regular business after a cleaning liquid spill resulted in an evacuation around midday on Thursday.
The store is located along the 4000 block of N Foster Road.
"It appears some cleaning liquids were accidentally mixed causing strong odor within the store requiring evacuation," Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar previously said around noon. "There is no chemical spill, the mixture is contained, however until the odor has been ventilated from the store, employees will remain outside."
Store officials confirmed the location reopened at 2:30 p.m.
