- A new, modestly sized food store with a new sales area of 1315m2
- Parking spaces for 100 cars, including 6 accessible bays, 10 parent-and-child spaces and 2 electric vehicle charging points
- Free customer car parking together with bicycle parking
- Retaining the existing jobs form the Glasgow Road store and the opportunity for more permanent local jobs
- Additional employment opportunities during the construction period and via the supply chain
- Attractive landscaping throughout the site to enhance its appearance
- A high-quality design which offers a contemporary shopping experience
- A multi-million-pound investment of approximately £3.72m into the local area
- Increased business rates and other revenues for the local council
