Infinite Energy Center closing for 2 weeks due to coronavirus

Gwinnett 03-13-20 More than 800 people were lined up outside a Costco near the Mall of Georgia in the Buford area before it opened. Within seven minutes, six pallets of toilet paper – all the warehouse store had in stock – were gone. It also quickly ran out of paper towels, disinfecting wipes and jugs of Lysol disinfectant. Rice was in short supply. Customers were limited to two cases of water per Costco membership. Within an hour there were hundreds of people standing in checkout lines that snaked to the back of the cavernous store. Then workers pulled down the entrance door, concerned they might begin to have too many people in the building. They let in people in groups of 100, as enough shoppers left.
