A £1 shop is set to open up in Reigate High Street this week.
The vacant Blockbuster store, which has been empty for the past few months, has been let on a short-term basis to Silverstrand Enterprises Ltd, which is due to be opening up for business this week.
Nick Pocknall, of commercial property estate agent Hurst Warne, said the unit, in the heart of the town, had been let temporarily to cover business rates but that a permanent business was due to take on the double-fronted unit within months.
He said: "We are negotiating with two parties at the current time for a longer term lease.
"I expect we will get terms agreed with one of them in the next 10 days, we will instruct solicitors to document that lease and they will probably move in in September or October."
He declined to say what type of businesses the two companies vying to take on the unit permanently are.
