Alcohol application for mini supermarket in the heart of Leyland's high street
Amini supermarket in the centre of Leyland could soon also sell alcohol.
A mini supermarket in the heart of Leyland could soon also sell alcohol.
Discount retailer Bodycare closed its Graham’s outlet in 54 Hough Lane in February 2024 as it navigated financial issues - before the Buckshaw-based company entered administration in September 2025, resulting in over 1,000 job losses.
The unit - close to a Wetherspoons pub - has since reopned as Leyland Superstore, which owner Bahroz Hadi desribes as a ‘small community-based mini market and grocery store’.
Mr Bahroz has now made an application for it to become an off licence, which will be considered by the licencing department at South Ribble Borough Council (SRBC).
The Iraqi-born businessman wants to sell alcohol from 9am to 11pm every night of the week, and that is a matter for the licencing committee to approve.
He said all spirits will be stored and sold from behind the counter, there will be CCTV in operation, a Challenge 25 policy will be in operation, and roller security doors have been fitted to the shop.
A decision will be made by SRBC on Thursday, April 23.
