A new convenience store at Ipswich Waterfront has applied to add multiple advertising boards ahead of its move to the site.
Workers employed by Londis had begun internal works on a part of the unit on Albion Wharf, which was meant to be the town's first BrewDog, last month.

Stalls and fridges are now all in place inside the unit, and the national convenience store's parent company, Booker, has submitted plans to add Londis' signs and other advertising boards.
Ipswich Borough Council sets an automatic eight-week deadline to review the application and decide on it unless it goes to the planning committee for councillors to review it.
Booker has asked to run advertisements for the store that would cover 13 of the 18 windows, which would include images of the products available inside along with additional information about a Costa Coffee machine for store customers to use.
A Booker spokesperson said: “We’re really proud to support our independent retailers in local communities, right across the UK, and are delighted to be welcoming a brand new Londis store in the coming months.”
There is currently no official opening date, but the store owners say they will confirm this with the local community in due course.
