A POPULAR takeaway establishment issued a reopening update after a shocking fire incident forced them to a sudden shut down in Co Galway.
The Italian takeaway Giovanni’s on Main Street in Oranmore suffered a fire incident earlier this week, resulting in fire engines rushing to the scene to contain the fire.
The shocking incident occurred at 8pm on Wednesday.
The establishment informed their beloved customers that they would be closed until further notice as they recovered from the shocking fire incident.
They also apologised “for any inconvenience” caused by their sudden closure and appreciated their customers’ understanding.
Customers were shocked by the fire incident and wished everyone was well.
One customer wrote: “Hope everyone is ok.”
Another added: “Hope all is ok. Stay safe.”
In good news, the establishment took to social media to issue another update two days after the incident.
They wrote: “We want to thank all our loyal customers for the kind messages and support during this time.
“A massive shoutout to Galway Fire Service for their quick response and the fantastic job they did.
“The most important thing is that everyone got out safely, and there were no injuries.
“We’re already working hard behind the scenes and aim to be back open in the coming weeks.
“We can’t wait to welcome you all again soon!”
The takeaway business urged customers to “stay tuned for updates” on their social media page as they work behind the scenes to restore the establishment.
