Edinburgh shoppers could save a packet when it comes to their weekly shop after budget supermarket Farmfoods announced that they are opening a brand new branch on Seafield Road.
The new store is set to open its doors this coming Wednesday 26 May and shoppers are being encouraged to sign up for exclusive opening discounts.
Situated near Leith Links, the shop has taken over an empty warehouse opposite Ninja Warrior, immediately prior to the junction with Salamander Street and Seafield Place.
The site was formerly home to a Topps Tiles store.
The news comes after plans for a new Seafield Lidl store - just minutes from the new Farmfoods - were thrown out by council over congestion fears last year.
The proposals for site at Seafield Road were rejected by Edinburgh City Council for a second time after councillors argued that having a supermarket at that specific location (in the current B&M site) would counter city aims to be climate friendly.
The new Farmfoods store will be open seven days a week from Wednesday 26 May from 8am-9pm Monday to Friday and from 8am-8pm on a Saturday and 9am-7pm every Sunday.
