Aldi has withdrawn its Meredith Road store from the market - and plans to operate it alongside its new Europa Way supermarket, near Sproughton Road, for the foreseeable future.
The discount retailer had engaged a Cambridge-based commercial estate agent to market the store with a view to selling the freehold or leasing it for £175,000 a year.
However, when the estate agent was approached by an Ipswich-based property company, the potential buyer was told Aldi was no longer looking to sell it - because it planned to run it alongside the new Europa Way to see whether they can justify running both sites.

Lockdowns and the changes to society we saw in 2020 could lead to long-term changes in many people s travelling habits according to a new survey from the national Co-op society.
We re walking more and cycling more - and a significant number of people who took part in the Ethical Consumer Markets report commissioned by the Co-op said they intended to carry on walking or cycling once restrictions were eased.
The report spoke to more than 2,000 people across the country and also used data on sales to find out what people were buying and where - and their attitudes to consumer choices.
