A DEPARTMENT store is being overhauled as part of plans which should give a much-needed boost to Burnley town centre.

Bosses at TK Maxx, in Church Street, are preparing to reopen the store on August 20 after a major makeover.

And the first 500 customers through the door will receive a £10 shopping voucher for the discount retailer.

Improved lighting and tills have been fitted to the premises, alongside new fitting rooms and decor.

Store spokesman Helen Gunter said: “We are really excited to reveal the transformation of our Burnley store.”
