The leasehold interest for the Chester Street store in the island’s capital, Douglas, is being bought for £3m (US$5.6m).
Shroprite said the acquisition will provide the group with significant additional food retail space in the centre of Douglas, and the directors believe that it represents an “exciting” opportunity for Shoprite to increase its market share.
