A betting shop in the centre of Burnham-On-Sea is set to permanently close down.
Star Sports has this week announced that its outlet in Burnham’s Victoria Street will be shutting on March 24th.
A spokesperson told Burnham-On-Sea.com the closure is a “trading decision” and thanked customers for their custom over the last two years.
Star Sports opened in January 2022 when it replaced Burnham’s former William Hill branch which shut as part of a ‘nationwide restructuring’, as reported here in 2020.
The closure will leave Burnham with one bookmaker – Bet Fred in College Street.
Star Sports has closed several other UK coastal town shops in recent months. There has been a shift to online betting in recent years.
