A new ALDI supermarket under construction on the former Daybook Laundry site, off the main Nottingham-Mansfield road (the A60). This "neighbourhood store" on 1.25 acres is due to provide a sales area of 10,650sq ft. In addition, there will be car parking spaces for 78 cars. One of the planning conditions is that Aldi will construct a new access road to the food store which will also serve the remaining 2.3 acres of land that are to be marketed for a variety of other uses. The supermarket is expected to be functioning from November 2014. The Daybrook Laundry Company was founded here by Samuel Robinson ( c.1875) to take advantage of a natural spring. In the 1960s, as more people bought washing machines, the home laundry demands declined and in its latter years the laundry switched from domestic laundry to predominantly commercial work. In 2002 the factory was sold to the Sunlight Services Group and work at Mansfield Road ceased.
