German supermarket giant Lidl has announced a £5 million project to relocate its Kirkcaldy store.
The new supermarket would create up to 15 jobs and include a bakery and 130 parking spaces.
Lidl plans to build a larger store on the former bus depot site across the road from Morrisons at the Esplanade.
Members of the public will be able to find out more about the proposal at a consultation event being held in Philp Hall, Links Street, from 2pm to 7pm on Tuesday, May 24.
Staff from Lidl’s property team will be on hand to answer any questions from the local community.
Lidl said replacing the existing store on the Esplanade was part of the group’s expansion plans.
It already has 630 stores in the UK but would like to nearly double this to 1,200.
Gordon Rafferty, Lidl UK’s head of property for Scotland, said: “We are extremely excited about the prospect of relocating our store in Kirkcaldy and serving our fresh, quality and incredibly good value produce which shoppers across the country have come to love.
“We look forward to welcoming anyone along to the public consultation day and showcasing our plans whilst answering any questions.”
In 2010, Fife Council drew up a regeneration framework for the Invertiel and Linktown area, with the aim of creating a gateway to central Kirkcaldy.
