When halal butchers in former Sheffield Chinese Fireworks shop will open doors
A landmark shop is to have a new lease of life
Chinese Fireworks Co is being converted into Tariq Halal butchers.
A spokesman said it would open on Wednesday, July 8, and have launch day discounts.
Some four jobs are being created, he added.
The company has 33 shops across the country.
It was established in 1965 by Tariq Sheikh and his father. Its website states it supplies more than 300 Sainsbury's stores.
Halal food is that which adheres to Islamic law, as defined in the Koran, by cutting an animal’s throat.
It must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter. During the process, a Muslim will recite a dedication.
Chinese Fireworks Co was launched by the Popat family in 1979. It moved to Pagoda Bank, 2 London Road, in 1995.
Today the business operates from the first floor of the building and runs an online store.
