Discount retail chain The Works is considering opening a new store in Burnham-On-Sea, the firm has confirmed.
The Works – which sells books, art and craft materials, gifts, toys, games and stationery – has over 500 stores across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Speaking to Burnham-On-Sea.com, a spokeswoman for the firm confirms: “The Works did look at a property in Burnham-On-Sea, but nothing has progressed.”
“We are still interested in finding a site in Burnham, but nothing has been agreed, so our search is still ongoing.”
The comments come after several weeks of rumours on social media regarding the chain’s plans to open in Burnham High Street where there are currently several vacant premises.
