A fashion and clothing brand is expected to open a new store in a former Poundland site on the outskirts of Ipswich this month. 

According to signs in the former budget store's windows at Copdock, Next will open its latest shop in August. 

In May, the retailer advertised three job roles for the new store - including a store manager, an assistant store manager and a sales manager. 

Poundland closed its store at the Copdock Interchange in May 20, directing customers to the store still open inside the Sailmakers shopping centre in Ipswich town centre. 

A spokesman for the budget retailer said: "We’d like to thank customers for their continued support – we look forward to welcoming them to our store at the Sailmakers centre in Ipswich.

"It goes without saying whenever we close a store in circumstances like these, we do all we can to look for other opportunities for colleagues and that work is now underway."
