A former charity shop in Bristol is reopening as a new convenience store.
The mini supermarket is opening in Crow Lane, Henbury in the unit formerly home to Changing Lives, which closed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Builders are currently at the site, which was a Lloyds Pharmacy before becoming a charity shop, carrying out the transformation.
A builder told a Bristol Live reporter the shop will also double up as a branch of the Post Office, however this has not yet been confirmed.
Shop owner Haval Abdulla has applied to Bristol City Council for an alcohol licence.
The application reads: "The premises will be a local general convenience store selling a variety of goods and alcohol.
"The applicant has applied for the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises: Monday - Sunday from 08:00 - 22:00."
Changing Lives announced the closure of its Henbury shop in a blog post.
