A former Isle of Wight town centre Shoe Zone is in the process of being transformed into a Premier Store.
Before welcoming customers, the building, on Regent Street, Shanklin, is undergoing renovation works.
Plans to convert the shop into a Premier were first submitted in February this year.
Proposals included a 'beer cave' and a 'soft drinks cave', as well as machines serving Costa Coffee, slushies and milkshakes, and the sale of American confectionery.

A licensing application was approved in March.
Taking to Facebook, a spokesperson for Shanklin Premier said: "We're almost there with our renovation, and we can't wait for you to see the final result!"
The opening date listed on the store's Facebook page is July 27.

Shanklin's Shoe Zone shut in September last year, making it the Island's second branch to close, following Ryde, in March 2022.
The only remaining Shoe Zone on the Island is on Newport High Street.
Meanwhile, there are a number of Premier Stores on the Island.
The most recent to open is on Horsebridge Hill, at the home of the former Island Computer Systems.
