Plans to open a new David’s Kitchen store in Kirkcaldy have moved a step closer to fruition with the news that a 0.6 acre site on the town’s Oriel Road has been secured on behalf of the award-winning convenience retail chain.
A £1m+ development of the site, formerly a fast-fit garage, is scheduled to start in June. A planning application was lodged last summer.
The new store plans to offer grocery shopping as well as a café, on top of the food-to-go range that the chain is renowned for.
David Sands, founder of David’s Kitchen, commented: “We look forward to opening a very innovative new store, focusing on food we make on the premises. We are also delighted to be returning to Kirkcaldy, where we have run a number of successful stores over the years.”
The site was secured by Shepherd Chartered Surveyors. The company’s Jonathan Reid hinted at further stores: “We’re delighted to have secured this location for David’s Kitchen and to be retained to secure additional sites for the expanding firm throughout east and central Scotland.”
David’s Kitchen Glenrothes is SLR’s current Food-to-Go Retailer of the Year, while the Falkirk store wears the Soft Drinks Retailer of the Year crown.
The 2019 SLR Rewards will be held on 19 June.
