SAINSBURY'S has revealed it wants to open its first Carmarthenshire supermarket.
The retail giant wants to build a 25,000 square foot store — roughly the size of half a football field — and four-pump petrol station next to the Beechwood Industrial Estate in Llandeilo.
Bus stops, a recycling bank and a cash point are also included in the plans, which will go on public display this month.
Graham Wilson, Sainsbury's regional development surveyor for Wales, said: "Research has indicated that the majority of people living in and around Llandeilo travel outside of the town in order to do their regular food shop.
"A Sainsbury's so close to the main shopping street has the potential to attract more shoppers to Llandeilo, encouraging a thriving high street that would benefit its many traders all year round."
Plans, including drawings of what the new store would look like, and details of how Welsh suppliers can get their products in Sainsbury's stores, will be displayed in a shop next to Llandeilo Post Office, in Rhosmaen Street, on January 28, between noon and 5.30pm and on January 29, between 9am and 5pm.
Mr Wilson said: "The team has worked hard to get the proposals to this stage and we firmly believe our investment will bring many benefits to Llandeilo in these challenging economic times.
"We look forward to sharing these plans later this month and would like to encourage as many people as possible to visit the exhibition and give us their feedback on our proposals."
Consultation responses will be fed into a planning application.
