A fire in Lafleche, Sask., near Gravelbourg, has left the town without its only coffee shop.
The business, known as M.O.M.'s for Merchandise on Main, was home to a variety store and cafe.
The fire broke out around noon Wednesday in the kitchen area of the shop and spread quickly.
Everyone who was in the building at the time of the fire was able to get out safely.
There was no immediate word on how the fire started.
The building was total loss.
