Fire crews took almost an hour extinguishing the fire after being called to the store at about 6.20am.

Afterwards, they needed to use a ventilation fan to clear the smoke and fumes from the shop's foyer.

They left the scene just before 7.15am that morning.

The fire is thought to have started in a till.

No one was injured.
