Altrincham Shop Fire

Sorry for the lack of content so far this week! We have been filming, but as you will see, the past 7 days have been eventful to say the least. 😔
Whilst the last week has been a rollercoaster emotionally, we have remained positive on the whole as we really do believe this could be a blessing for us in the long term, especially when it comes to renovating the 2 shops affected that we are yet to sign the lease on!
A massive thank you to the local community and our customers from further afield, not only for the positive comments, in-store / online purchases via www.vhinteriors.co.uk - but for the random acts of kindness (mainly in food and drink form) that have been really really appreciated!
These kind gestures have honestly helped us remain as stress free as possible, we even spent some downtime tidying the garden on our day off to keep calm! We'll upload that video tomorrow.
PS: A massive thank you to GMFRS Altrincham, Sale and Wythenshawe for their quick response last Saturday. The men and women of GMFRS were amazing whilst on scene. The Hive Beverage Bar does offer Blue Light Discount's, so please do pop in when we are back open if you are watching this. We might even treat you to a CD of the popes best speeches 😂

Oh my god lads- what a nightmare! So glad no one was hurt and that the damage isn’t too catastrophic- imagine if the fire hadnt been spotted so soon and had chance to spread to your current building 😱 looks like whoever owns those units needs to get the whole place rewired before you sign any leases 😬

It’s a bloody nightmare, but as you mention it’s also a very near miss! Thankfully we were there to notice the beginning of the fire in our neighbours shop and stop it before it took a hold. Our landlady and electrician are both happy to just connect The Hive first and then rewire then connect the shops whilst we are refurbishing them! So silver linings and all that 😅😅

Good to see KFC saves the day! Long live KFC....

KFC Broadheath was extremely bad for a while! Thankfully the new staff seem to be on the ball 😅
