The store caught fire on Tuesday and the cause remains under investigation.

Pedraza said the closure was requested by the Harlingen Police Department for "investigative work and for the removal of debris."

Fire officials said flammable items sold at the store — including fertilizer, propane tanks, ammunition, guns and gunpowder — caused a challenge in putting out the fire.
