Plans have been granted for Tesco to install a Timpson's Store in the supermarket car park.

East Devon District Council have approved plans to install a 'single-storey Timpson Pod and six Ramraid Bollards at Tesco Honiton Store Battishorne Way Honiton Devon EX14 2XD."

The bollards will be installed to add extra security to the store. Timpson's has been established for 150 years Timpson has either made, sold or repaired shoes. 

Timpson is the UK’s leading retail service with over 5,600 colleagues, with 2,000 owned stores and 119 "Snappy Snaps" franchises throughout the UK and Ireland.  Timpson has been established in 1865 and is family owned and run by John Timpson as Chairman and James Timpson as Chief Executive. The Group continues to expand by opening new stores (mostly concessions or pods in supermarkets), growing its photo business, including the recently converted Tesco Photo Estate and Tesco online service, expanding its national locksmiths business and introducing new services such as mobile phone and iPad repairs.

The pod will offer dry cleaning, shoe repair, phone repair, watch repair, key cutting, engraving and passport photograph services for Honiton residents.

As part of the plans, they now have three years to build and open the store and will only be open in line with the opening hours of the Tesco Honiton.
