Sweets, chocolate and even ice cream have been discovered untouched in an abandoned convenience store.
Dave, an urban explorer known as Freaktography, came across the shop that remains eerily stuck in a time warp.
The premises were deserted only last year after a robbery and subsequent fire caused more than £42,000 ($50,000) worth of damages.

Dave claims that after the incident the shop managers had no other option than to take off, leaving the majority of the stock behind.

He shared his find on YouTube where he has amassed more than 6,300 views from people eager to take a peek inside the store in his hometown of Ontario, Canada.
“In the early morning, about 2am, someone approached the store and smashed the glass door,” Dave told What’s The Jam.
“The individual entered and stole cigarettes and lottery tickets.
“For unknown reasons the intruder then set an area near the cash register on fire before fleeing the scene.

“Police told me that the sprinkler system went off and was able to contain the fire.
“No employees were in the store at the time, however damage from the fire was too much and they had to leave their business behind.”
Walking through the store, Dave highlights shelves of drinks, including water and beers and a cosmetics section with make-up, toothpaste, hand sanitiser and soap.

It is at the back of the store where signs of abandonment are most obvious with fridges containing rotting milk, eggs and melted mouldy ice-cream.
Dave said: “It’s very unfortunate to have seen someone lose their business due to a fire.
“I hope they’re okay.”
