REFURBISHMENT of Kidderminster's Oxford Street Safeway store in its conversion to Morrisons will mean it closes for four days while the work is carried out next month.

The revamped outlet is due, however, to reopen four days earlier - on Thursday, July 21 - than originally expected.

The final phase of the conversion, which will lead to the store's temporary closure, involves installation of new ovens and refrigeration equipment as well as cleaning and painting.

When it reopens, new features will include a pie shop, butchers and fresh fish counter.
