Yorkshire company Pulse and Cocktails - which already has a store in London Road, Grantham - plans to convert the redundant building into a new store with up to five full-time staff.

The company has applied to South Kesteven District Council for an entertainment licence for the new store.

Director Clair Boothby said: "Our stores offer a welcoming and female friendly environment for couples to shop together.

"The location is perfect as it is identical to a number of our other stores on main roads and at out of town retail parks.

"Our store in Grantham town centre, as with many High Street stores, is ideal for customers travelling by bus or on foot.

"This new location is on a main road and has its own car park, which is ideal for customers who wish to visit the store by car."

The refurbishment of the building is expected to start in the next few weeks, but no opening date for the store has yet been set.
