An overnight fire has destroyed a St. Vital business.

The fire broke out just before 2 a.m. in a business in the 700 block of St. Mary's Road near Fermor Avenue. 

Heavy smoke was pouring out of the single-storey building when crews arrived. It took a little under an hour to get the fire under control.

The business, which is currently up for sale, sustained significant damage.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
