A MAJOR bookshop chain is looking forward to opening its new shop in a Hampshire town.
Waterstones is preparing to move into the former M&Co unit in The Hundred, Romsey.
The fashion retailer shut in April last year amid nationwide closures.
Waterstones has announced that it will be opening in early August. An exact date is yet to be revealed.

Shop fitters have recently been inside the shop, fitting it out for the new arrival. Posters have also been put in the windows saying: "New bookshop opening soon."
