Makeover of Burnham-On-Sea supermarket 'will be completed in July'

The transformation of a Burnham-On-Sea supermarket from Somerfield into Morrisons is set be completed early next month.

Burnham-On-Sea.com understands staff have this week been told that Monday July 6th is the target date for the Pier Street store to be officially opened for the first time.

It comes as workmen this week installed new Morrisons signage outside the store, replacing the old branding, as pictured.

The store will sell 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 so-called 'Market Street' of food from dedicated butcher, baker and fishmonger counters.

Burnham-On-Sea.com reported in May that more than 350 local people had applied to work at the new-look store, even though there are only 45 new positions to fill.
