27B in Vicarage Walk, Yeovil, formerly River Island Clothing Co, could become Somerset’s newest Savers store with a transformed shopfront if Somerset Council permission is granted.
Savers is a discount retailer with more than 500 stores, specialising in toiletries, health, beauty, household goods, and medicines at low prices.
There are multiple Savers stores across Somerset, including in Taunton, Crewkerne, Bridgwater, and Weston-super-Mare.
The planning statement for the newest location said: “The new shopfront and signage will relate to the new retail business venture at the above property.”
The transformed exterior will be in context with the previous shopfront installed within the unit and is of scale and proportion to suit the building, according to the planning documents.
