A NEW Savers store is set to open in Yeovil.
Savers is set to open a new store at the Quedam Shopping Centre in Yeovil, taking over the former River Island unit on Vicarage Walk.
The health, beauty and household goods chain will open its new Yeovil branch on December 3, 2026, according to information published on the company's website.
Once open, the new Yeovil shop will become Savers' fifth store in Somerset, joining existing branches in Taunton, Bridgwater, Crewkerne and Weston-super-Mare.
Plans for the new store first emerged when applications were submitted to Somerset Council asking permission for a new shopfront, entrance doors and signage at the former River Island premises.
Savers operates more than 500 stores across the UK and specialises in discounted toiletries, health and beauty products, household essentials and medicines.
The arrival of the new store will bring another national retailer to Yeovil town centre and fill a unit that has been vacant since River Island's departure.
According to planning documents submitted earlier this year, the proposed shopfront was designed to be in keeping with neighbouring units within the shopping centre while repurposing the space for the new retail venture.
The team at the Quedam Shopping Centre have welcomed the upcoming arrival via a comment shared on Facebook.
"Exciting news for Quedam [as] Savers is coming to Yeovil," said a spokesperson for the shopping centre.
"Get ready for everyday essentials, beauty favourites, household must-haves and plenty of great-value finds, all under one roof.
"We can’t wait to welcome Savers to Quedam. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates."
The new branch is expected to trade seven days a week, with opening hours listed as 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sundays, according to the retailer's website.
