TAUNTON's JoJo Maman Bébé children's clothing shop is set to close in a few weeks as the chain closes "several high street stores".

The branch at 16 East Street is set to close on August 19, staff said. The shop opened in Taunton eight years ago in October 2016.

It currently sells a range of "quirky and imaginative" baby and children’s collections, a complete maternity collection plus nursery products, gifts and toys.

The store offered facilities including a baby changing room and customer WC, nursing chair and children’s colouring corner.

JoJo Maman Bébé is a Welsh brand founded by Laura Tenison in 1993. Several regional stores have closed in recent weeks, including stores in Hitchin, Hertfordshire and East Grinstead, West Sussex.

The nearest stores will soon be those in Dorchester and Bath.
