Dessert restaurant chain Kaspa’s will open a store in Weston-super-Mare after it received planning permission from North Somerset Council.
The firm applied to the council in April to convert the old post office, in Regent Street, into a dessert parlour.
And this week the council granted permission for Kaspa’s to revamp the vacant building, but a timescale for the conversion is yet to be confirmed.
The building has been vacant for two years after the post office relocated across the road to Alexandra Parade.
