A new phone and laptop repair and accessory shop has opened in the former Accessorize premises in Ipswich town centre.

Phone Expert has opened its doors in Tavern Street, next to the McDonald's restaurant.

The store is a laptop and mobile phone repair shop that also sells accessories for electronic devices such as gaming controllers, chargers, cases, headphones and a variety of sound speakers, from retro to new.

They also buy and sell, allowing customers to send in unwanted or old phones for money, which will then be refurbished by the company, and sold on.

The shop was formerly home to Accessorize, which closed in June and had been vacant since then.
