The chairman and CEO of the Norcross-based company, Scott Schnell, says the extended drought and region’s water restrictions have had a material impact on business. The retailer has secured over 11-million dollars in financing to help it operate during backruptcy protection. Pike Nurseries has 22 locations in Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama.

Delta returns to Wall Street

A more fiscally-fit Delta Air Lines rejoins the lineup on the New York Stock Exchange this morning. Executives with the Atlanta-based airline were to ring the opening bell on Wall Street today.

Delta emerged from bankruptcy protection only on Monday, after 19 months in Chapter-11.

An estimated 400-million shares will be distributed to creditors of Delta. Analysts expect Delta shares to debut at 20-dollars.
