It's been a slow process for the business, which had to do a full store revamp after a fire in late January that saw major damages to the shop.

The shop's been boarded up while owners redid everything, from rebuilding tables and displays to cleaning AC units.
They've also added glass barriers, floor markings, and staff will be decked out in PPE, says the shop.
We are currently working on rebuilding our tables and displays, we are very happy to see the place come together after a lot of hard work. We're excited to soon be able to open up to go back to serving our community!

As fruit markets are the backbone of Kensington, the shop has been sorely missed. But judging by the pictures they've shared so far, things are looking fresh.
