A burger restaurant that was forced to close earlier this year will reopen next month – as a Christian bookshop.

ThaT Burger!, in The Parade, closed in February due to a lack of trade, just six months after it opened for business.

The unit, one of about 20 per cent of shops that are now empty around the town, has been taken on by Living Oasis Watford, a Christian bookshop formerly based in Queen’s Road.

The new venture will open its doors on Tuesday, May 3.
