VIDEO/PHOTOS: A fire at Herbivorous Butcher โ the nationโs first vegan butcher shop and located in Minneapolis โ is temporarily closing after a fire on Tuesday. The business says their kitchen suffered serious damage due to the fire, as well as from the water used during suppression efforts.
According to the owners, all operations are now temporarily closed, including orders placed on DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats. The closure will be in place while they assess damage and start rebuilding. The Minneapolis Fire Department says they were called to the location at 9:10 p.m. Tuesday. Fire Crews were unable to get into the building and had to force their way in, where they found a fire in the ceiling in the Herbivorous Butcher kitchen, between floors. After the sprinkler system extinguished most of the fire, a hole was cut in the floor to extinguish the remaining flames. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
