Reports indicate that the issue is a gas leak at the store. According to Spectator report Matthew Van Dongen, the building has been evacuated safely and there have been no injuries.

Update: the gas was identified as a freon leak from a compressor. The leak has been closed and the store is being ventilated.

Update 2: As of 2:30 PM, the streets are all open again.
