David Alexander, leader of the SNP Group on Falkirk Council, and his town centre colleague Cecil Meiklejohn, will urge Britain's biggest grocers to think again.
Cutomers have reacted angrily to the news revealed in the Falkirk Herald last week that the firm intends to shut up shop in July.

They say the new Tesco in Redding Road, which is opening as an alternative, is too far away for them.
