A major supermarket chain has announced plans to move into Govan.
Aldi have unveiled plans to move into a retail park on Helen Street which will create 35 new jobs.
The company are seeking permission to demolish two units partially occupied by B&M and That Party Place, at the retail park and refurbish a further two.
The store would also have 120 car parking bays.
A planning statement submitted to the council says that there will be significant levels of new investment of up around £2.1m into this part of Glasgow as a result of the development.
The planning statement said: “The proposals are submitted in order to meet Aldi’s new store development aspirations to serve the residents of Govan, Cessnock and immediate surrounding areas which are not currently served by a store.
“The new Aldi store will help to address both a quantitative and qualitative deficiency within the local area, introducing a form of retail offer that is materially different to the existing provision.”
It adds: “There is currently limited discounter presence within the catchment area, leading to residents leaving to access food shopping provision not present, this includes Aldi’s store at Paisley Road West within the Cardonald / Halfway Local Town Centre, which is overtrading.
“The proposals can therefore improve the sustainability of shopping trips for local residents."
If given the go-ahead, the shop will be hiring store managers, assistant managers, store deputies and store assistants.
The construction is also expected to bring work to the area.
The plans are due to be considered by Glasgow City Council.
