New Burnham-On-Sea supermarket confirms July 6th opening

Burnham-On-Sea's new Morrisons supermarket will open next month, it has been confirmed this week.

Signs have appeared outside the store in Pier Street, as pictured, stating the opening will be held at 9am on Monday July 6th.

It follows the completion of a multi-million pound revamp of the seafront store, which was previously run by Somerfield.

Burnham-On-Sea.com reported earlier this month how staff been told that Monday July 6th would be the target date for the opening.

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.
