A VIDEO game store has been saved after it was forced to close earlier this month. 

The Loft Ladder in Southampton shut after 10 years in business on March 12 after the unit it occupied in The Marlands was taken over by another company. 

But now the video game, comic book and vinyl record store has revealed it will be reopening in a new home.

The new site sits next door to the old Loft Ladder on the top floor of the centre, opposite Shakaway and next to Stakks pancake house.

In a Facebook post, a spokesperson said: "The Marlands management have excelled themselves and in under a week found new suitable premises, and helped with the mammoth move.

"The Loft Ladder lives on, and what a superb location! Everyone is working hard behind the doors.

"We will announce a reopen date soon, and hope you all enjoy the new look, with the old atmosphere of The Loft Ladder.

"Welcome to The Loft Ladder, part two."
