The popular drinks – made and marketed by famous YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI – went viral late last year as youngsters did what they could to get their hands on the sought-after product.

While Aldi, Asda and even Costco now stock the drinks, Prime runs out within moments and from next week Premier Morley will be dropping their prices even further to just £3.99 a can.

Ajay, who owns the Premier newsagents with his dad Jazz and mother Suki, hopes that by lowering the prices they can gain extra customer support with the offer available both in store and via their online service.

He said: “We’ve bought a container load and we’re going to be making less margin but are trying to be the cheapest in Leeds so we’re going to be dropping it down to £3.99 per can to gain customers.”

On top of a home delivery service, the store also has a cocktail bar, hot dog stand, pizza counter and milkshake counter.
