The Atlanta Fire Crew posted a video on Twitter showing the firefighters continuing to extinguish remaining hot spots.
The fire was reported to have started from the back of the store. An investigation is currently ongoing to determine the cause of the fire.

The historic store was bought by O’Neal in 2016. “I hope no one was hurt and we will bounce back better than ever,” O’Neal said after the fire was extinguished.
