Heron Foods on Great North Road in Woodlands has been badly damaged by the blaze, a post on the shop’s Facebook page said.

It read: “Just a quick update in regards to the store.

"We have had a fire through the night and our store will not be opening any time soon - we are really sorry for any inconvenience caused.

"We do have some other great Heron stores around the area so you will not miss a bargain – Heron Foods South Elmsall, Scawthorpe, Asken, Bentley and Doncaster town centre.

In response, Heron Foods South Elmsall wrote: “No one was hurt and everything will be replaced and you’ll be back better than ever!”
