A former Mastrick car dealership could be turned into a B&M store if plans are approved.
Bosses at the Peter Vardy Garage on Whitemyres Avenue are looking to turn the empty showroom into the discount retailer’s second branch in the city.
Drawings also show three new smaller units, where the display cars were previously on show, which could be taken on by other businesses.
Peter Vardy Carz closed in 2023, and has remained empty ever since, with car dealer bosses saying an “agreement is in place” for B&M to move in.
What will new B&M Mastrick store look like?
Whilst the exterior of the building would mostly remain the same, a complete overhaul of the inside would be needed to bring B&M to Mastrick.
A garden centre would be connected to the store on the east side, and on the west, half of the current 413 parking spaces would be removed to make way for other units.
These stores could be taken on by other retailers, with Peter Vardy telling council chiefs they have already received interest in the planned Mastrick B&M.
Architects for Peter Vardy state: “The applicants have been looking at ways to repurpose the property for future occupants.
“There is strong interest for the vacant showroom.”
The new store would provide employment for approximately 50 staff, with additional workers employed November to January.
