VPZ Plans to Expand with 20 New Stores
VPZ plans to open 20 new stores in the UK, bringing their total to 170, while also calling for tighter regulations.

VPZ, the largest electronic cigarette chain store in the UK, has announced their plan to expand the market by opening 20 new stores this year, bringing the total number of stores to 170.


This year, VPZ has opened stores in Hekseham, Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby, and Newcastle.


As they expand, VPZ spokesperson Doug Mutter has expressed a desire for the UK government to follow New Zealand's lead in strengthening regulations on the e-cigarette market.


According to Doug Mutter, "VPZ is committed to helping adult smokers quit smoking and has helped over 700,000 people quit since its inception in 2012.


According to earlier reports, VPZ plans to open 10 new stores in 2022, bringing the total number of stores to 160. However, it appears that this plan was not fully executed last year.
