Jobs are currently on offer for a new Iceland supermarket and Costa Coffee drive through opening in East Lothian.
The shops will open as part of the new Haddington Retail Park that is due to open this summer.
The retail park, set between the A199 and B6471, will include Aldi, Home Bargains, The Food Warehouse, Costa Coffee and a petrol station when it opens to the public.
Now, retail assistant and team leaders jobs are being advertised online for the new Iceland Food Warehouse.
The Food Warehouse is an Iceland concept store and say they are one of Britain’s fastest growing supermarkets.
In its application for a licence in Haddingston, an Iceland source said: “The Food Warehouse has been a huge success underlined by the rate of growth. In early 2015 it was trading successfully in six locations (none in Scotland). Fast forward to the end of 2018 and there are now 85 stores in England and Wales and seven trading in Scotland.”
The Costa Coffee drive through will open in July and up to 15 jobs are said to be being created.
Aldi have yet to set a date for their store opening but say the Haddington shop will be one of four opening this year that will create 150 new jobs.
Richard Holloway, Regional Managing Director for Scotland said: “During an unprecedented year our Aldi colleagues and thousands of suppliers rose to the challenge of feeding the nation with tremendous skill and courage.
“As we look forward to 2021, our commitment to investment and expansion in Scotland continues, and we are excited be to opening a further four Aldi stores next year, and of course reaching our significant 100 store milestone.
An Edinburgh investment group, Ediston Property Investment Company plc, are behind the 48,000 sq. ft. retail terrace and a petrol filling station.
