Supermarket giant announces plans to open new store in Kilmarnock

A new supermarket could be set to open in Kilmarnock.

Iceland bosses have lodged a bid for a provisional premises licence with council chiefs to open a brand new store.

The shop, which would be based at the old Aldi unit, will take the form of a Food Warehouse store - a sub brand of the frozen food retailer.

Iceland is currently rolling out branches of the new discount supermarket around the UK.

One Food Warehouse store opened its doors in Irvine earlier this year.

The licence bid is for off sales only and would be for Monday to Sunday from 10am to 10pm.

Documents submitted to licensing bosses say the new store would provide customers with "a wide range of foodstuffs, goods and other services including the sale of alcoholic products for cosumption."

Home deliveries could be on the cards for the shop as well as the store hosting product sampling, food tasting events and friends and family evenings.

The proposed off-sales capacity for the new venture is 22 metres squared.

The former Aldi store at unit 6 in Glencairn Retail Park has remained empty since Aldi moved to bigger premises on West Netherton Street earlier this year.

Licensing bosses will rule on whether to grant the provisional premises licence on Tuesday morning.
