Plans have been filed for signs to go up in a currently vacant unit as a national retailer appears poised to move into a Trowbridge shopping centre.

Homeware and furniture chain Dunelm has applied to put up signage at the unit in the Gateway shopping centre in Bythesea Road, that it is taking over from Evans Cycles.

According to a planning application filed Wednesday, April 9, signage will be put up above the door and projecting from the wall.

The planning application’s proposed advertisement states: “New store branding signs, Dunelm, to replace old tenant branding, Evans Cycles. Comprising of 1 No main sign – internal above entrance 1 No External Vertical Projecting Sign (Double sided).”

The news follows the revelation that Dunelm would open, and appear to be further indication the store is set to be readying to open in the shopping centre.

On April 12, the Wiltshire Times reported that, according to Dunelm’s career page, the home furnishings retailer is currently advertising for a new Stock Supervisor at a branch in Trowbridge.

Further down, in a section labelled ‘Where you will be working’, the page states that the new employee will be based in Unit B, the Gateway Shopping Centre, Bythesea Road, indicating this is where the store is set to be located.
