Aldi has announced plans for a new £4.6m store in the Broomhouse area of Glasgow.
The development should create up to 35 local jobs, along with new jobs during construction and within the supermarket's supply chain. The site, located at Boghall Road, will also service Baillieston and the surrounding area.
The proposed new store will deliver a 1,140 sq m store, along with 95 parking bays.
The announcement signals the start of a consultation programme by Aldi, which will include both online and in-person events. A drop-in event will be held on 17 August at the Mailcoach Restaurant in Broomhouse.
A live interactive chat session will also be held on 22 August, accessible via the project website.
An Aldi spokesperson said: “We are excited to be announcing our proposals for a new store in Broomhouse. Building on our nine existing stores in Glasgow, we remain committed to investing in the city and servicing local communities with our low cost and high-quality products.
“An Aldi store would bring significant investment to the area, along with 35 new jobs, whilst supporting other local businesses through our investment in the Scottish food and drink sector.
“I would urge anyone with an interest in the proposals to attend one of our consultation events, either online or in-person.”
The discount retailer is Britain’s fifth largest supermarket, with more than 900 stores and around 38,000 employees.
