Bosses have applied for permission for the new store in Port Glasgow, Inverclyde.
If given the green light, the fashion and homeware retailer will have a store in the town's Gallagher Shopping Park.
The unit is right next to an Aldi but currently houses a Poundland.
But the Port Glasgow Poundland is one of the 100 stores the bargain retailer has sold off.
Matalan want to make a lot of changes to the unit of they take over.
They want to "demolish existing walls, doors and services and strip back to shell from current occupier".
It will also add new compartment walls, partition walls, doors, fire doors, furniture and services.
There are currently 26 Matalan stores in Scotland and it is an extremely popular option for shoppers.
The chain has currently launched a launched a massive 50 per cent sale on clothing and homeware with prices starting from just 50p.
There are hundreds of other clothing and homeware items on offer ready to be snapped up.
Matalan expands and renovates as Sainsburys axes caffeinated fan favourite
The latest big sale comes as Matalan superfans have recently been raving about their lesser-known clearance stores which have items up to 70% off.
The possibility of a new shop is good news for the retail sector in a time when more shops are closing and high streets continue to suffer.
Just last month, Matalan announced they would be opening ten new shops across the country in a massive shake-up for the firm.
Despite businesses feeling the squeeze, the future looks bright for some.
We told how Aldi revealed 115 "prime" locations where they want to open new shops.

PRODUCT DETAILS The Ride & Go Cherry Scented Screen Wash is just £2.99 for a massive 5L bottle, making it an absolute steal. And the best bit? It leaves behind a sweet cherry scent, so your windscreen's not the only thing getting a freshen up. Don't get caught with a filthy screen – stock up while it's still on shelves.

And with its fresh, clean scent, it's not just your paintwork that gets a glow-up – your whole motor will smell lush too. All UK car dealerships will STOP selling 10,000s of iconic brand's used models impacted by lethal airbag flaw Whether you're prepping for a road trip or just want to impress on the school run, this £2.99 wonder is a glovebox must-have. And it's one of the cheapest screen washes on the market – with some retailers charging up to a tenner for similar products. Even Halfords and B&Q's versions come in at £7.49, making Aldi's deal an absolute bargain for drivers who want a clear view without the hefty price tag. MORE SPECIALBUYS Aldi shoppers can scoop cut-price household essentials, as well as beauty dupes for luxury brands, with the latest Specialbuys. A dual-zone air fryer from Tefal is priced at around £99.99, while a Ninja version of the gadget is £129.99. Aldi's high-speed blender with accessories is well-priced at £14.99.

The supermarket has previously offered several Charlotte Tilbury dupes including eyeshadow palette, and flawless filter foundation and they are typically very popular. Aldi launches fresh Specialbuys every Thursday and Sunday. 2 When's the best time to shop at Aldi? WHEN it comes to shopping at Aldi, the best time to do so depends on what you want to buy. For reduced items - when shops open Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick. A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates." That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens. Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool. For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools. New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals. For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time. Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
