Plans to expand the Tesco store in Douglas will be discussed by Ramsey Commissioners at this evening's meeting.
Members will consider a report, passed on by the local Chamber of Commerce, which claims businesses in the Island won't be able to compete when, what's described as, "this goliath" becomes even bigger.
The report says it will only take a marginal loss of trade and local retailers will go out of business.
The expansion of the Tesco store, by a further 2,000 square metres, will create 250 jobs, but the report asks how many more could be lost?
The meeting is at Ramsey Town Hall, starting at 7pm.
