Aldi have revealed £4.7million plans for a new store in Dumbarton - directly opposite the town’s Lidl.
The budget supermarket chain, which already has a branch in Alexandria, has been targeting a move to Dumbarton since 2020 - and last week revealed the proposals for a new store on land off Castle Street.
According to the chain, the new store would create 35 local jobs.
The announcement comes ahead of a public consultation at Riverside Parish Church on Wednesday, September 27 between 3pm and 7pm.
The event will provide the public with an opportunity to learn more about the proposals, ask questions of the project team, and leave feedback.
An Aldi spokeswoman said: “We are excited to be announcing our proposals for a new store in Dumbarton.
“We have long strived for a store in Dumbarton, and we are delighted to be bringing these plans forward.
“An Aldi store would bring significant investment of £6m to the local area, along with around 35 new jobs, whilst supporting other local businesses through our investment in the Scottish food and drink sector.
“I would urge anyone with an interest in the proposals to attend our consultation event and view the plans online.”
