ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Business owners hoping to open their new showroom in Holly Springs next week are instead picking up after a fire destroyed their building.

According to the Cherokee County Fire Department, the likely culprit was a falling tree almost 50 yards from Taylor Outdoor Supply, near 3800 Holly Springs Pkwy. The tree appears to have started a chain reaction that set the business ablaze.

Logan and Zach Taylor own Taylor Outdoor Supply and had nearly completed the construction of the manufacturing business’s new location."

“We did a lot of renovations on this lot, and the building specifically, to get it up and running”” Logan said.

The new location was an expansion from their first business, Georgia Hardscapes and Custom Pools. The area of Holly Springs Parkway has experienced explosive growth in recent years. The road was recently converted into a four-lane road with a median.

Since purchasing the lease-to-buy property last fall, the Taylors have dealt with extensive construction both on their street and inside.

“We were optimistically opening everything up in a week or two,” Zach said.

That dream, the grand opening of Taylor Outdoor Supply, will now have to wait.

“We got it fixed up. We got it ready, then — setbacks,” said Logan.

According to a preliminary investigation by Cherokee Fire andamp; Emergency, the fire appears to have been caused by a tree across the street that fell onto power links.

“(The tree) fell. It damaged the power line over there, which caused our power pole to pull off,” Logan said.

By sunset on Sunday, a year’s worth of hard work was submerged in inches of water. Nobody was injured, and the business is insured.

“The ceiling had come down and there’s water everywhere,” Zach said.

Taylor Outdoor had been gearing up for pine straw season, which peaks in the fall.

The brothers shared the office with their wives’ business. The only salvageable remains are family photos and birthday reminders.

Now, the work begins anew.

“We have no plans of this stopping what we plan to put here,” Logan said.

Because all this fire did was keep their passion burning.

“Repair it, build it better, come back and open up a store everybody can enjoy coming to,” Logan said.
