As reported by The Press, the discount supermarket submitted a planning application to City of York Council in November 2021 which proposed the amalgamation of units 1, 1A, 2 and 2A, on the eastern retail terrace to create the superstore.

The units on the 0.34ha site previously housed Hobbycraft and the now closed outlets for Poundland and Hays Travel.

At the start of the year Hobby Craft announced that it would be moving to a new unit in Monks Cross between River Island and the Barnardos Superstore.
