A Southampton supermarket has suffered £50,000 of damage after an arson attack but will be operating fully soon.
Tesco Express, in Wimpson Lane, Millbrook, was closed on Monday morning until 11.30am after a blaze swept through its storage area at 12.45am.
A spokesman for the supermarket said although they are still open, they have been unable to trade fully due to damage to equipment including chillers.
They will be back in full business within days.
A gang of four women including two 13-year-old girls, from Southampton, have been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life and bailed pending further inquiries.
Tesco Express was one of seven incidents of arson firefighters had to tackle in just hours. People in flats nearby had to be evacuated while firefighters battled the blaze.
