Vacant Convenience Shop to be Revived as Subway Sandwich Shop

A vacant convenience shop on Bury Road in Breightmet, Bolton, could be transformed into a new Subway sandwich shop, pending approval from Bolton Council. The plans, submitted by RA Design & Project Management Ltd, aim to revive the neglected site, which has been used for storage and is in a "poor state." The proposed Subway shop would feature a new shop front, three new windows, and improved interior, with the first floor used for storage and the existing entrance at the back serving as a goods entrance. The new shop would operate from 7am to 8pm, seven days a week, including Sundays and bank holidays.
