THE opening date of the new TK Maxx branch in Andover has been confirmed by store bosses.

It will open in the old Harveys unit on the Churchill Retail Park on Thursday, August 27 from 9am.

The fashion giant has spent most of the year tight-lipped about its new store, but work renovating the unit has now nearly finished.

Currently the nearest branches are in Basingstoke and Newbury.
