Information continues to come in on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Dave Casey, president of SuperGlass Windshield Repair Inc., Orlando, Fla., reports that the company's New Orleans franchise is relocating.

"Our location in New Orleans was out of business just like everyone else," he explains. "Once we saw the total devastation to his city, we awarded Ron Anderson a new franchise in Austin, Tex. His crew was happy to relocate and they are working for our franchise in Houston while we prepare Austin for an opening in October."

Casey reports that he put a notice of the New Orleans manager's predicament on the SuperGlass Forum bulletin board and has raised over $2,600 from fellow franchisees in the past two weeks.

"I imagine we will be back in New Orleans again someday, but I doubt if the city will be ready for a year or more. When the city is ready, we will be too," says Casey.
