Aldi to set up shop in old newspaper offices

A planning application from Aldi has revealed that they are the supermarket who are opening a brand new store on the site of the old Shropshire Star offices and print works.

The site, called Ketley Point, on Waterloo Road is being developed by Morris & Co and planning has already been granted for a food retail building. The latest plans lodged yesterday reveal the supermarket that’s taking the site on.

Aldi already have six stores in the borough, and this one is due to be ready early next year.

Ketley Point is a five acre site which includes office and factory units being marketed by Morris & Co.
