"We've had so many new customers coming in and it's been going really well which is great.

"There's more space here to do all the things we wanted to do, whereas in the other shop, everything was just really crammed together. 

"Here, there is a lot more space and we have been able to put more out."

In the new shop, Lawra has set up 'Lawra's', a new vegan cafe selling cakes and a variety of drinks including hot chocolate, bubble teas and strawberry lemonade.

Lawra continued: "When I was younger, I always wanted to have a hot chocolate bar, and with the previous space it wasn't big enough to accommodate that, but here, we thought why not?

"It's been really well received."
