BATON ROUGE – An electrical fire destroyed a convenience store overnight.

Firefighters found flames shooting from the roof of the Z Food Mart on N Sherwood Forest north of Florida around 5 o'clock Saturday morning. Fire crews were able to control the fire and extinguish it but not before flames tore through the business.

Investigators said the fire started around the front of the building.
