Another phone and vape shop is set to open in Ipswich taking over the former Hotter Shoes in Tavern Street.

iRepair and iVape will open its doors soon, making use of a site which has been empty since 2020.

A couple of weeks back, people were seen working inside the unit for the first time since Hotter Shoes closed four years ago.

It is now known that it will be a phone shop which also sells vapes.

Signage on the front of the building states the shop will "buy/sell phones, on spot repair, no fix, no fee."

The new shop will open next to an existing phone repair shop, Fone Tech, and is set to be another shop specialising in phones and vapes in a small vicinity in Tavern Street.

Elsewhere in Tavern Street, Holland & Barrett is set to open in the former Carphone Warehouse unit, opposite the former Hotter Shoes premises.

Carphone Warehouse closed several years ago.
