I work at 'UK’s most expensive newsagent's' – customers travel up to two hours so they can buy our pricey items | The Sun

CUSTOMERS have travelled up to TWO hours for a soft drink from the 'UK's most expensive newsagent's' but they aren't complaining.

Controversial corner shop, Wakefield Wines, West Yorkshire, has garnered a lot of attention after selling soft drinks at £20 a bottle.

The extortionately priced Prime Hydration has created a social media frenzy amongst youngsters following the launch of the brand earlier this year by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul.

Despite a retail price of only £2 Millie Hazelgrave travelled from Castleford to buy six bottles of PRIME from Wakey Wines which cost her £145.

Two disappointed punters, Danny Booth and David Clempner left empty-handed after they drove all the way from Manchester for the soft drink but were told it had sold out.

Other visitors who feature on the owner's TikTok account, @wakey_wines01924724141, have made the journey from Mansfield and Sheffield.

Another corner shop selling PRIME for £15 is a Nisa Local in Worcester.

Shopkeeper Ameer Khan said: "Nobody has complained about the price.

"People leave their phone numbers with me so I can let them know we have some in stock."

One punter paid £80 for a crate while another shelled out £15 just to keep a bottle behind the counter so no one else could buy it.

He added how some people come every 10 minutes on a Friday to ask if the bottles have been delivered yet, the Worcester News reported.
