Supermarket giant Tesco has confirmed it looking to build a store in Halstead.
Rival chain Sainsbury's said it wanted to build a store at the former Bayer Diagnostics site, Colchester Road, last month.
Debate has been raging as to which chain would be most welcome since a survey showed there is only room for one superstore.
Tesco said more details may be released next month.
