King Vape Mini Market in Neston was closed for three months after repeated sales of illegal tobacco and vape products.Summary
Cheshire West and Chester Council secured a three-month closure order for King Vape Mini Market on High Street, Neston, after repeated illegal activity at the premises. The shop must remain closed until September 3 following multiple seizures in May and test purchases by officers. Intelligence gathered between November 2025 and May 2026 confirmed continued sales of illegal cigarettes and tobacco, and enforcement visits found goods concealed behind kitchen units and in bags and boxes. Council officials said the persistent sale and concealment of illegal tobacco and vapes harms legitimate businesses, supports criminal activity, and poses public health risks.
