A Tesco Express that was closed for 11 days after a fire broke out has reopened.

The store, in Sea Street, Herne Bay, had been shut since the blaze on the morning of Thursday, September 6.

However, it opened its doors to customers this morning.

Fire crews took almost an hour extinguishing the fire after being called to the store at about 6.20am.

Afterwards, they needed to use a ventilation fan to clear the smoke and fumes from the shop's foyer.

They left the scene just before 7.15am that morning.

The fire is thought to have started in a till.

No one was injured.
