A popular shopping complex home to several businesses will not reopen again after it suffered serious damage when a blaze ripped through the building. A fire broke out at Slater’s Shopping Village in November last year.
Ever since the blaze the shopping village has remained closed and some of the affected businesses, which include JR's Texas Smokehouse, Purely Dogs, The Little White Cottage, and Salon Beautyful, have had to relocate elsewhere. In a copy of an email sent to businesses, seen by StokeonTrentLive, it was revealed that the centre will not be rebuilt and they have until October 20 to empty their units.
It is understood that any rebuild would have taken at least 18 months to complete. Demolition of the fire-hit building is expected to start within weeks, Cheshire Live reports.
