Owners of salon gutted by fire vow to relocate nearby

The owners of a salon gutted by a fire which forced the evacuation of a major shopping centre have vowed to be back in business within days.

Noel Gregg, who runs Leonard’s Hair and Beauty in Douglas Shopping Centre in Cork with Leonard Higgins, said while the salon will be closed for a few days, they hope to relocate the business to a temporary unit elsewhere in the complex.

“We hope to relocate within a few days and we would ask our customers to bear with us while we make those arrangements,” Mr Gregg said.
