A NEW vape shop will be opening in an empty unit in Worcester's High Street.

Earlier this week Worcester News revealed that Evapo would be replacing Cupp Bubble Tea in the city centre and we can now reveal it will be opening in only a matter of days. 

The store is currently being redecorated but the company has announced that it will be opening on Friday, November 8. 

The business was founded in 2014 and operates over 55 retail premises across the UK. 

The CEO of Evapo said they chose the city because it stood out as a thriving community. 

Andrej Kuttruf, CEO of Evapo said: "We’re excited to bring Evapo to Worcester’s High Street and support the local community on their journey to quit smoking.
