A former discount supermarket on County Road could be given a new lease of life months after being shut down.
In February, Tesco confirmed it would close down the Jack’s store in L4, four years after rebranding amid the closure of 13 discount shops nationwide. Now, the retail unit in North Liverpool could be brought back into use after a planning application was lodged by Home Bargains’ parent company to operate from the vacant lot.
In documents made public by Liverpool Council, TJ Morris Limited has submitted an application to reconfigure, extend and refurbish the existing store as well as adding a new entrance feature and store front, trolley corral and rework the car park. In its cover letter on behalf of TJ Morris to the council, planning and development consultants Quod, said the unit in its current state had become “dilapidated and needs comprehensive refurbishment.”
