AAA in Hendersonville reopened its doors Tuesday morning for the first time since Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction over six months ago.
The reopening was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, with Chamber of Commerce officials in attendance.
Water damage from Hurricane Helene was left halfway up the walls of the building, leading to a complete interior renovation.
Tiffany Trunell, AAA regional sales leader, expressed the team's enthusiasm about returning to business.
"I have to give all the credit to the staff," Trunell said. "This entire team was commuting back and forth to Asheville every single day. [They were] committed to their own education, committed to being there for the community so we could be ready to reopen once we were rebuilt. So, it has been a long and hard six months but we are excited to be back now and ready to celebrate."
Customers can now visit the Hendersonville AAA location for membership, insurance, travel and banking services.
It is located at 638 Spartanburg Hwy Suite 20.
