Supermarket chain Aldi is planning to move from its South Parade home to much larger premises to the west of the town.
They are planning to develop the field on the on corner of Harlaxton Road and Trent Road, previously occupied by Grantham Road Services.
Plans have been submitted to SKDC, following a positive reponse in Novemeber when 3,000 residents in the area were asked for their opinions.
95 per cent said they were in favour of the move.
An Aldi spokesman said: “Aldi are investing significantly across the UK, modernising its existing estate and has identified this vacant land as an opportunity to upgrade its current offer in Grantham.
“The current Aldi at South Parade is very popular. However, there is no potential to expand the site and bring it in line with Aldi’s latest openings and it is therefore necessary to relocate.
“The proposed store will accommodate the full range of Aldi goods and enhance the customer experience through improved facilities, including customer toilets.
“Our current store is extremely popular but is no longer able to meet the needs of our customers. It is now dated and in need of modedrnisation and reconfiuration.”
The South Parade store opened in 1995.
