Kirkcaldy supermarket’s expansion plans to increase click & collect service

The retail giant has submitted a planning application to Fife Council to start the work.

It wants to move the existing click and collect service - currently located near the petrol station - into an extension to its building on Carberry Place.

The move is in response to a huge rise in demand for the service.
