Over 350 people have applied to work at the new Morrisons store on Burnham-On-Sea seafront, the company said on Thursday (May 14th).
The job applications are currently being sifted through to find potential candidates to fill up to 45 roles, which include checkout operators, bakers, butchers and staff to serve on Morrisons fresh food counters.
Gail Roberts, Retail Recruitment Manager at Morrisons, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We have had an amazing response to the recruitment drive and are optimistic that we will build up a team that can deliver great service to the people of Burnham-On-Sea.”
She added that the new recruits will be joined by colleagues from the previous Somerfield store, who will transfer across to the Burnham Morrisons store.
The new store will house a wide range of goods, from fresh food and grocery items to home and leisure goods, as well as beers, wines and spirits.
It will also feature a ‘Market Street’ brand of Morrisons traditional fresh food from dedicated butcher, baker and fishmonger counters.
