A landmark shop is to have a new lease of life
A former fireworks shop in Sheffield city centre is set to reopen as a butchers.
Chinese Fireworks Co is being converted into Tariq Halal butchers.
It is set to open in June, a spokesman said, and some four jobs will be created.
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.
