Tesco taps Clark Contracts for new Pitlochry supermarket as trans family stories head to festival stage

Clark Contracts has been appointed main contractor to build a new Tesco supermarket in Pitlochry for Dundee-based developer West Ranga Property Group. The project includes a 26,900-square-foot store near the junction of Perth Road and Bridge Road, with internal fit-out.
