Robertson said they're still producing soap despite the damage to the building.

"We've got a big Cracker Barrel shipment going on Thursday and we've gotta get that ready, so disaster doesn't mean anything, you gotta keep going, you know?" Robertson said. 

Robertson said he should be able to bring back the rest of his workers by next week.

He said he'll pay them bonuses to make up for their missed pay.
