The move will see the existing Trident Centre office building on Port Way demolished to make way for a new shopping space, which will be split into two units - one half to house Aldi and the other for an unnamed discount retailer which will in turn create up to 100 full-time jobs between them.

Existing staff will also be transferred to the new store.
