WHSmith is gearing up to reopen in Chippenham after flood repairs, bringing relief to local shoppers eager for their favorite store back.
Chippenham: WHSmith had to shut its doors after Storm Bert caused the River Avon to flood the town center last November. It was a tough time for many shops on the High Street.
Since then, the store has been closed, and folks were left wondering when it would reopen. They even reached out for updates but got no clear answers.
However, there are signs up now that say the store will be back soon. It’s nice to see some hope after all the chaos.
While they work on fixing the damage, it’s worth noting that WHSmith had just opened a Toys R Us shop-in-shop before the floods hit. Talk about bad timing!
They’ve put up messages saying they’re working hard to get things back to normal and apologize for the hassle. In the meantime, if you need something from WHSmith, you can head to their store on Union Street in Bath.
As of now, other shops like Superdrug and the British Heart Foundation are still closed due to the flooding, but places like Tesco and Starbucks have managed to reopen.
