To determine how many additional bottles of shampoo Mark should order, we first need to calculate how many bottles he currently has.

\[
2 \times 96 = 192 \text{ bottles}
\]

2. **Open box:** He also has 26 bottles in an open box.
\[
26 \text{ bottles}
\]

3. **Total bottles currently available:**
\[
192 + 26 = 218 \text{ bottles}
\]

4. **Target amount:** Mark wants to have 250 bottles in storage.

5. **Bottles needed:** To find out how many more bottles he needs to order, subtract the total he currently has from his target amount.

250 - 218 = 32 \text{ bottles}
\]
