Hanly’s Eurospar in Strokestown is to remain closed until further notice following a fire on the premises on Thursday morning.
The store on Elphin Street had to be evacuated when a fire broke out in the building at around 10.50 a.m..
The building had to be evacuated and no injuries were reported. The fire brigade brought the blaze under control but the shop suffered extensive smoke damage.
It’s thought that the fire was caused by an electrical fault.
