Co-op Fights Tesco’s Return to Stonehaven | Aberdeen News

Stonehaven’s Co-op is sounding the alarm again over a proposed Tesco store on the outskirts of town, warning it could devastate the local retail heart by siphoning customers away from their Market Square and David Street locations. Citing past objections and council rulings against similar out-of-center developments, they argue the new Tesco — just a mile from their flagship store — would undermine the town’s vitality. Compounding the threat, they fear an Aldi and M&S Simply Food could join the Tesco at The Ury Estate, creating a retail onslaught that’s already deemed “irresponsible” by local authorities. While developers tout a £15 million investment and 100 new jobs, plus a cafe and EV charging hub, councillors who previously rejected the plan last August now face a renewed battle — one that could reshape Stonehaven’s future.
