Work to rebrand a Shoprite store in Castletown into a Tesco started this weekend.
Chair of the commissioners Jamie Horton says it’s an ‘exciting’ change for the town and hopes it will encourage more businesses to move to the south.
Shoprite announced in October that it would be selling all nine stores, including Winerite and ‘Little Shoprite’ to the retail giant.
Mr Horton says the local authority has tried in the past to bring Tesco to the town:
