It will be open from 11am until 5pm today, and then 10am to 6pm each day from tomorrow.
A statement from the business yesterday read: “Granny Pats Pop Up Shop will be open from 11am tomorrow until 5pm, and then daily from 10am till 6pm.
“Located at the side of Granny Pats Tuck Shop, we have a very limited stock of your favourite sweets - all 100g bags for £1.80 each, as well as a few extras, too.
“Please come down and support us by treating yourself to a few sweeties.”
On August 12, Granny Pats Tuck Shop owner, Matthew Mercer, said his store was “not the cause of the fire”, but was left “absolutely decimated” as a result of it.
North Wales Police Chief Superintendent Simon Williams said yesterday: "We have been working closely with our colleagues at North Wales Fire and Rescue Service to determine the cause of the fire.
"However, two men arrested in connection with the incident have been eliminated from our enquiries and released without charge.
"Following a post-mortem examination and further CCTV enquires, this incident is not being treated as suspicious and we are not seeking to speak to anyone else in connection with it.”
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said on August 12: "A man has died after a fire at a commercial property in Prestatyn this morning.
"We responded to reports of a fire on the High Street, Prestatyn at 2.35am. We are working with North Wales Police to determine the cause of the fire.
