However, the store’s owner, Myles Greenwood, announced last week on Instagram that the shop is now up and running again and available for bookings.
Greenwood, in his post, stated that “..humanity really is incredible”. He expressed gratitude for the support and generosity he has received from the public since the incident. The shop, which was stationary in the canal Artery between River Street and Brewery Wharf in Leeds at the time, saw guests coming to the rescue by helping save what they could from the record store.
