The owners of a Paradise strip mall that was consumed by fire in early March hope to have construction completed and tenants in place ready for business in the next four to five months.
The building contained a Subway restaurant and other long-term businesses including a flower shop and restaurant.
Clary Murphy is with HML Holdings, a Paradise-based family owned business. He says construction is temporarily on hold as they sort through some paperwork, but they hope to resume work later this week.
He tells VOCM News most of the tenants are eager to get back into the old address, and he expects most will be up and running before Christmas.
