The Force 4 Chandlery store at Deacons Boat Yard, Bridge Road, Bursledon, remains temporarily closed following an electrical fire.
No one was injured in the blaze, which started in the early hours of Monday, June 13, causing extensive damage to the building.
“We are relieved that the fire occurred when no one was in the store,†said owner Peter McLuskie, “however, the building and its contents sustained significant damage.
“Our well-known and experienced team of deacons, including Principal Pip Johnstone, and team members Sarah, Scott, Andy and Steve, although affected by the fire, were able to relocate temporarily, to work alongside from the staff of our existing Swanwick Chandlery, which was refurbished earlier in the year.
“Swanwick Chandlery is just a two minute walk from Deacons Boat Yard across the bridge. They look forward to welcoming their customers to this alternate location until they can safely return to a refurbished store at Deacons Yard. ‘
