OWATONNA, Minn. – A southern Minnesota furniture shop might need a makeover of its own following a costly fire.

Nelson Decorating Center in Owatonna remained closed Wednesday after a fire started inside Tuesday night.

A sprinkler system helped douse the flames until firefighters got there, but the shop still suffered $350,000 in damage and lost furniture.

It's unclear how the fire started. Owatonna's fire chief says this is a great reminder for businesses to have working sprinklers and fire alarm systems.
