A new hardware store has opened its doors for the first time in a town centre.

Henri's officially welcomed shoppers last week to its shop on Bullock Fair Close in Harleston, into the building that previously housed Jonas King Locksmiths

Henri Johnson once co-owned the business alongside Mr King but said the shop grew to a point where they realised the locksmith business could be run separately .

"Since our opening customers had been coming in and asking for us to stock more hardware products," said Mr Johnson.

"Though we have now separated the businesses, Jonas King Locksmiths' products will still be sold at my store."

The shop sells a wide range of products for DIY home improvements, gardening and offers key cutting.

There will be new products arriving at the store in the next few weeks with Mr Johnson expecting to bring in more based on customer requests.

"The first week has been absolutely fantastic and I am blown away by the support," added Mr Johnson.

"I want it to become a traditional shop where locals can get everything they need in person, especially with the rise of online shopping."
