Shop owner Helen Silverberg praised neighbouring businesses for their support
Owner Helen Silverberg, who runs the business with her husband Jeremy, and David and Mandy Griffiths, praised neighbouring businesses and residents for their support.
"From the staff at Greggs bringing us coffees to the Crossroads clinic offering us space if we need it next week - so many residents and passers-by have wished us well," she said.
"It's a lovely community in Gorseinon."
In a Facebook post, the business said it would remain closed on Saturday and, as it had been unable to access its appointment diary, it apologised to anyone with an appointment who had not been contacted.
