Hardware shopping chain to launch store in Burnham-On-Sea

Robert DyasHardware shop Robert Dyas is preparing to open a new branch in Burnham-On-Sea in May.

Burnham-On-Sea.com learns the company, which has 95 stores across the UK, will open a branch in Burnham's Somerfield supermarket in Pier Street.

The move will enable Somerfield to compete with Asda's coming store in Highbridge and Tesco's expanded store in Love Lane.
