Store officials said shoppers at the Tchoupitoulas Street location are still being notified that their orders have been paid in full, WDSU reported.
Benson became the sole owner of the Saints and the NBA’s Pelicans after her husband, businessman Tom Benson, died in March, the television station reported.
