Fire investigators have confirmed the blaze was deliberately lit, with police now investigating.
It’s understood neighbours nearby used fire extinguishers to try and put out the fire before emergency services arrived.
A member of the public reported seeing a man in dark clothing fleeing the scene and running into Princes Square.
Shop owners say they will be able to continue operating once the damage is cleaned up.
