Since the closure of the electronics retailer at Lowestoft, the retail park unit has remained empty and has now been sub-divided into two units.

Last week, the Barnardo's store at the retail park moved into the larger 4,000sq ft unit that previously was part of the old Maplin store, next to Morrisons.

It is not yet known how many jobs will be created by the new eaterie, but it is set to become the third Subway store in Lowestoft - with others at London Road North (Lowestoft town centre) and at the Gateway Retail Park in south Lowestoft, which opened a few months ago.
