A new ice cream parlour opened on Burnham-On-Sea seafront on Saturday (April 4th) in time for the start of the Easter holidays.
Owner Robin Luxom is keeping his fingers crossed for a hot spring and summer, having launched the business, called The Whole Scoop, on the Esplanade near Sunspot Amusements.
It is selling a range of ice creams, refreshments and beach toys.
“This is an ideal location for a business like this – we just want a good summer of weather now and plenty of visitors,” he told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“The recession could mean that those people who usually go abroad will in fact be taking cheaper holidays at home this year. I think Burnham could benefit from this.”
