Stevenson Welcomes Construction of Fraserburgh Asda Outlet

Stewart Stevenson, SNP MSP for Banffshire and Buchan Coast has welcomed the beginning of construction of Asda’s new branch in Fraserburgh.

Asda are investing £11 million with the construction of a 25,000 square feet (sales area) supermarket, customer cafe and petrol station. The development will also see the creation of up to 200 new jobs.

As well as bringing significant employment opportunities to the town, the proposed store will expand consumer choice and provide a convenient major outlet for those in the surrounding area.

Commenting, Mr Stevenson said

“I am delighted to see construction beginning on the new Asda store. This sort of investment in the community will eventually result in a significant number of new jobs for the people of the area, as well as bringing a diversity of choice for shoppers and a boost to the local economy.

“I am certain that those in Fraserburgh and the surrounding area will benefit greatly from the new store, and will be glad to see it completed”
