Hurricane Katrina — After the Storm

“Southland lost everything; its entire operation was underwater,” Chalifoux explains. “Metairie suffered a significant loss of business, too, but the location remained intact. So, Southland moved in with Metairie. Monahan fared pretty well—physically untouched, but emotionally drained after losing half of its 65-employee work force, who were evacuated and displaced. Monahan’s owner decided it was time to get out of the printing business. And, so, Metairie eventually sold out to Monahan, and the three former printing companies are now combined under the Mpress corporate umbrella out of the former Monahan facility.”
