Clothing giant Primark is to massively extend its Freshney Place store, taking it to a whopping 40,000 sq ft.
The extension, a quadrupling of the current 10,000 sq ft high street fashion outlet, would involve building into part of the eastern car park, and is likely to bring scores more jobs.
The Telegraph is meeting with Freshney Place bosses this morning to discuss the plan, after it was submitted to North East Lincolnshire Council this week.
Adored by fashion fans and value seekers alike Primark is widely established as the destination store for keeping up with the latest looks without breaking the bank.
It launched under the Penneys name in Dublin in 1969, opening in Derby four years later. There are now 161 stores in the UK and nearly 50 across Europe.
