Aldi has revealed plans for a new Shropshire store which could create more than 40 jobs.
The discount goods retailer has put forward a proposal to develop a new food store on land off the A495 Scotland Street, opposite Ellesmere Business Park.
Bryn Richards, Aldi’s Regional Property Director, said: “We are aware that Ellesmere does not currently have a discount food store and we have been looking to invest here for some time. “With the cost-of-living crisis worsening Aldi remains committed to the delivery of new stores across the country to help shoppers’ money go further. This is why we are setting our sights on Ellesmere to bring investment, jobs and increased choice for local people.
The proposed site is currently unoccupied and located south of Ellesmere Business Park and has been identified in Shropshire Council’s Draft Local Plan as providing an opportunity for economic growth in Ellesmere.
