Scotmid has announced it will open a new modern-format food store in Uddingston after it was revealed its existing premises will be leased to Aldi.
The leading Scottish convenience retailer will lease its current location at 317-319 Old Edinburgh Road to Aldi in early 2026 while opening a new store in its adjacent units.
Scotmid's new smaller-format food store will "reflect the retailer's commitment to innovation and modern convenience" and will feature an enhanced food-to-go offer.
