One of the UK's biggest discount retail stores could move into a Great Yarmouth premises vacated by another chain which fell into administration last year.
The Wilko branch in Great Yarmouth's Market Gates Shopping Centre closed its doors for the final time last September.
But now the vacant space could have a new lease of life, 30 years after Wilko opened in 1994, after B&M expressed an interest to occupy the empty space.

B&M have lodged a licence application, which is on display in the window of the shop unit, to Great Yarmouth Borough Council to serve alcohol between 7am and 11pm seven days a week.
A spokeswoman for Market Gates has said that the move is not yet confirmed as an agreement is not yet finalised, though she has confirmed the chain's interest.
Representations for or against the application can be lodged with the Borough Council in writing or by emailing, licensing@great-yarmouth.gov.uk before October 18.
