In December 2010 permission was granted for the £2 million build with work starting in January 2011.

An Aldi Spokesperson said: “Our Fitzwilliam Road store no longer meets our requirements and the store will close on Sunday 16th October. All our amazing colleagues will be relocated to neighbouring stores.

“Our valued customers will still be able to shop and save at our Masbrough, Parkgate, Bramley, Maltby and Swallownest stores, which all have more space for fresh, chilled and food-to-go ranges, and much brighter, simpler layouts.”
