This paper examines how providing closing information affects travel distances when facilities are closed. Two cases are considered to assess the effect of closing information. In the first case, customers have perfect information and travel directly to the nearest open facility. In the second case, customers have no information and search for an open facility. The average distances from customers to an open facility with and without information are derived for regular and random patterns of facilities. The effect of information is measured as the reduction in the average distances.
