A Budgens store in a Suffolk village could become a Tesco Express in new plans.
Tesco has applied for a new premises license at in Moses Walk in Great Blakenham, near Ipsiwch, to Mid Suffolk District Council.
The plans would see the store operate from 7am to 11pm from Monday to Sunday, with limited changes expected for the structure and layout of the building.
Meanwhile, it is expected to keep the 25 parking spaces, a motorcycle parking space and bicycle stands at the site.
Tesco said: "There is a detailed programme which ensures that comprehensive training is provided to employees having regard to their role and the responsibilities and such training is regularly reviewed, and records kept.
"The company has a 'good neighbour' ethos which seeks to ensure that the premises play an active part in the local community."
Documents say the store is worth around £59,000 and it opened in October 2018, forty years after the last village shop closed.
This comes as Budgens recently withdrew plans to add additional staff parking at the site after concerns were raised from the council about traffic in the area.
