Andover is to welcome a new retail giant to the town in 2015.

Test Valley Borough Council has received a planning application for the refurbishment of a unit on the Churchill Retail Park to accommodate a TK Maxx store.

The unit, currently housing Harveys Furniture store, is to receive a new mezzanine floor and makeover before the fashion retailer takes over the tenancy later in the year.

When asked by the Andover Advertiser a spokesperson for TK Maxx said that “there are no confirmed plans to open a new TK Maxx store in Andover” at the present time.
