Asda plan new Newmarket store

Supermarket giants Asda are hoping to open up a brand new store in Newmarket.

The company already has one store in the town, which took the place of Netto in the Studlands Retail Park in July.

However, bosses have confirmed that they are launching plans for a second store that will be available in the next few weeks.

No details have yet been revealed as to the location of the store, or whether it will be in the centre of town or not.

"We are currently looking at a number of options for a new Asda store in Newmarket but have not yet exchanged contracts on any one site," a spokesman for Asda told the Cambridge Evening News.

"As soon as we are in a position to we will share the details of our initial plans for a new store in Newmarket, and we hope this will be in the coming weeks.

"Asda is the UK's lowest price supermarket, winning the Grocer Gold Award in 2011 for the 14th consecutive year, and was crowned the Britain's Favourite Supermarket 2011 in the same awards.

"We look forward to bringing the Asda Price Guarantee to local people in Newmarket."
