A NEW convenience store is coming to Newton Abbot’s high street.

Family Shopper will be opening at 25 Queen Street in the not too distant future.

The unit, which was once the home of William Hill bookmakers, is currently being fitted out.

An application for signage has been submitted to Teignbridge District Council this week.

25/00881/ADV is seeking permission for a new fascia sign.

And the application form states that the sign is for Family Shopper, which are locally owned by independent retailers.

Teignbridge is already home to two Family Shopper stores, Dawlish and Dawlish Warren, but the addition of Newton Abbot will make it three.

It is not clear when the shop will open, however a deadline of July 29 for a decision on 25/00881/ADV has ben given.
