Chain looks to enhance security before opening new Gosport corner shop and creating jobs

Family Shopper, a convenience shop chain, has submitted plans to Gosport Borough Council to install a new shop front at 15 Rowner Road.

The new shop will replace the previous By Arrangement Florist and create four jobs.

Mithra Retails Limited, which owns Family Shopper, proposes to replace the current display windows and two doors at either end of the shop front with show display windows and a single door.

Part of the design and access statement said: “The purpose is to make more efficient use of the window display area and remove the second unnecessary entrance door.

“The single door will also enhance security.”

The revised internal layout will increase the shop floor space by 2.65 square metres and improve the positioning of the serving counter.

The application form said three full-time and one part-time job will be created at the shop.

In November last year, the shop owners applied for a licence to sell alcohol every day from 7am to 10.30pm, which is yet to be decided.

Planning chiefs will decide on this shop front application reference 25/00379/FULL by February 13.
