Briscoe Group Ltd said seven of its stores in Christchurch are affected by Tuesday's earthquake but costs and lost profits are covered by insurance policies.
The company has Briscoes homeware stores at Salisbury Street, Northlands, Riccarton and Hornby, Rebel Sport stores at Riccarton and Columbo Street and a Living & Giving store at Riccarton.
The Briscoes homeware store at Hornby reopened today and Briscoes Northlands will reopen tomorrow. The remaining five stores remain closed pending engineers' inspections and completion of safety reports.
