Fire blazes through garden centre
Thirty firefighters tackled a blaze at Cherry Lane Garden Centre, Bradmore, Notts on Tuesday.
Six fire crews from West Bridgford, Central Fire Station, East Leake and Mansfield attended the scene and all staff and customers had to be evacuated.
Mike Ryan told GTN Xtra "I was walking my Chairman around the store in advance of our launch this weekend when the alarm went off. The fire service were really great and used our irrigation tanks to start tackling the blaze straight away."
"Since then the staff have been fantastic, moving stock around and clearing up so that we could re-open on Wednesday afternoon using 1/4 of our shop area and all of outside."
"Suppliers too have been excellent and we will be able to keep all of the promotional offers we've been advertising for this weekend."
QD Stores, who own the Cherry Lane group of garden centres are very happy with the performance of their garden centres this year following a series of refits.
