Plans for a new supermarket in Elgin have moved a step closer with an application for an alcohol licence set to go before council next week.

In April, Tesco confirmed it would open an Express store in 2027 as part of the Findrassie housing development on the northern edge of Elgin.

Plans to merge two units within the new-build estate were approved by Moray Council in February.

Now plans have taken a further step forward with the retailer due to have its alcohol licence reviewed by the council’s board next Thursday (June 11).

The application states that the supermarket giant has applied for a provisional licence for its new store on Isobel Gowdie Road.

Once built the new shop will be the town’s second Tesco store.

A spokesperson for Tesco has previously said: “We look forward to welcoming customers to the store next year and will keep the local community updated with our plans.”
