Homesense operates similarly to TK Maxx by offering savings on its branded products, and shoppers can get up to 60 per cent off furniture, lighting and decorative items.

It shares a building with TK Maxx in the North Worle District Centre in Queensway.

A Homesense spokesperson said: “We are delighted to finally open our doors to the shoppers of Weston-super-Mare.

“We greeted excited shoppers this morning as they headed in to discover the unique homeware finds on offer.
