Buyer sought for supermarket building

Asda is seeking a commercial buyer for Keighley's former Netto supermarket at the Victoria Park roundabout.

The Keighley branch of Netto closed on New Year’s Eve after the company was bought by Asda.

Asda last year rebranded some of the former Netto stores and sold surplus branches to other chains including Morrisons.

The branch at the Alston Retail Park – only half a mile from Keighley’s Asda store – has now been put on the market.

Meanwhile Asda this week said it had no current plans to build new retail units near its existing Keighley store.

The company owns the former George Farrar Quarries on Bradford Street, near the Asda filling station.

Asda gained planning permission in 2010 for two new non-food retail units after appealing against Bradford Council’s initial refusal.
