Iceland confirmed the new stores were in its current year development programme, with opening dates in the summer yet to be firmed up and announced.

Despite the continuing difficulties of tradtional town centres, including Ipswich, growth of out-of-town sites shows no sign of waning - with major new arrivals at the Martlesham Retail Park and Ransomes Euro Park recently.

The owners of Suffolk Retail Park have invested heavily in improvements to the Ipswich park, with the Food Warehouse also set to be joined by a Home Bargains discount store.

Home Bargains already has a major presence at Martlesham, a purpose-built store which opened in January last year.

It has also has stores at Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds.
