CLARKS in Burnham-on-Sea will be closing its doors this Spring.
The outlet shoe store on High Street was reviewed by bosses at Clarks who decided not to renew the store's lease.
Holly Bibby from Clarks said the shoe giant is working with staff at the store to find them alternative roles.
“Clarks continually reviews all its stores to ensure that they are the right size and located in the right areas in order to provide the best possible offering and environment on the high street to its customers," Holly said.
“As a result, we have decided not to continue the lease on our store in Burnham-on-Sea and the store will be closing.
"We have a strong duty of care to our employees and are doing everything we can to minimise the impact on colleagues in Burnham-on-Sea including ensuring that they were made aware of roles in nearby Clarks stores in Worle, Congresbury Street, Taunton , Bristol and others.
"All team members are being consulted with and we are exploring all avenues to find them suitable alternatives.”
