A MAJOR wine store could be on the cards for Truro. Majestic has confirmed its interest in the city, and has been placed in the frame to take over the premises once inhabited by frozen food retailer Iceland on Fairmantle Street.

A Majestic spokesperson said: “Majestic is committed to growing its store footprint and has pinpointed more than 70 locations across the UK where we see an opportunity to expand. We have identified Truro as one of those cities. “We are delighted to have found a site that we believe would be a perfect fit for Majestic and are hopeful of securing the required licensing permissions in the near future.

“We are excited about the prospect of bringing our market-leading proposition to Truro.”
