Sound Central, a record store in Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal borough, broke the news earlier this week that a fire caused considerable damage to their business.
The fire started at some point Monday into Tuesday in a recycling bin in the alleyway behind the building.
It also affected Revolution 514, a skateshop that shares the commercial space with Sound Central, and residential neighbours above the store who lost 2 of their 3 cats.
In an online post, the store says they are still assessing the extent of the smoke and water damage and will eventually hold a sale to get back on their feet.
Sound Central first opened in 2001 above L'X concert hall (Ste. Catherine at Hôtel-de-Ville) and would go on to move to St. Denis in 2004 before moving to its current location in 2007 at 4486 Coloniale Avenue.
