“It was just a small flood in the shop and we had to make sure we did the right thing by the customers,” they said.
Although the north-east has been experiencing warm and sunny weather over the past couple of weeks, there was some rain in Stonehaven this morning.
However, the Co-op confirmed the closure was to “address a plumbing issue” within the store.
