Plans have been submitted for a new shop close to Crewe Alexandra Football Club - replacing a former popular horticultural store.

On Wednesday (January 4), Mr Gnanendran Arumugam applied to open AA Food & Wines on Gresty Road.

The shop will replace former horticultural store, Grass & Ground which closed in 2021 - opposite The Mornflake Stadium.

The shop will replace Grass & Ground which closed down in 2021 (Ryan Parker).

Mr Arumugam has proposed to instal aluminium framed shutters to the shop front windows and doors.

This aims to add more security to the retail unit being so close to the football stadium.

On the shop floor, AA Food & Wines will have a frozen chiller, shelves and a counter.

There will also be a store room and a further storage room behind.

On Tuesday (January 10), Cheshire East Council Environmental Protection viewed the plans.

AA Food & Wines will replace former horticultural store, Grass & Ground - opposite The Mornflake Stadium (Peter Turner).

Construction work for the shop has been issued to take place between 8am and 6pm (Monday to Friday) and 9am to 2pm (Saturdays).

Crewe Nub News will provide an update on the development in due course.
