Proposal for Chinese supermarket on Scarborough’s Falsgrave Road

A new Chinese supermarket could be established on Falsgrave Road in Scarborough, pending approval from North Yorkshire Council. Mrs Wen Zhu Chen is proposing converting a ground-floor office at 29–31 Falsgrave Road into a retail space selling Chinese food products and decorations.

Located near Sainsbury’s and within walking distance of Scarborough railway station, the site would offer various Chinese products, including packaged snacks, frozen seafood, and decorative items. Mrs Chen cited a lack of such products in the area, noting growing demand for Chinese goods among local consumers.

The plans indicate no need for external or internal alterations to the property. The shop’s location near the town centre, with easy access to transport links, is expected to help attract customers, benefiting both the business and the local economy.

The council has not yet set a date to decide on the application, which is still open for public consultation.
