A coffee chain that is opening a store in Sudbury has revealed it will also open a branch in a west Suffolk town. 

According to the company's website, Esquires Coffee is 'coming soon' to Bury St Edmunds. 

Signage plans to convert the former Sudbury WHSmith store into an Esquires Coffee shop were submitted in April last year

The plans were refused, but resubmitted proposals were later approved after alterations were made.

WHSmith announced it would close its Sudbury store in 2022 as they were "unable to continue to trade viably" from the location. 

The closure also meant the town temporarily lost its Post Office before it moved into the Borehamgate Precinct. 

Esquires Coffee sells fresh coffee and food from over 60 locations in England and Ireland. 

The brand is 'coming soon' to Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds, as well as Colchester in Essex.

It is unclear where or when the Bury St Edmunds coffee shop will open.
