QUEENS ROAD store and post office in Royston has undergone a facelift after being the victim of a ram raid in June.
Owners News Plus has spent "thousands of pounds" installing a new front and refurbishing the interior of the shop.
Joint manager Eddie Seekings said: "Parts of the shop were demolished in the raid, so it has cost News Plus thousands of pounds to put right.
"The store has been transformed into one of the most inviting shops in the neighbourhood."

As reported in The Crow, raiders drove a 4 x 4 vehicle through the shop's front windows and dragged out a cash machine, destroying much of the shop's stock in the process.
Mr Seekings said he had had a lot of support from the community during the transformation of the store," which has taken three weeks to complete.
