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.

Chocolate lovers racing to Poundland to try new flavour of Nestle Milkybar scanning at tills for just £1.50
A BRAND-new Nestle flavour has hit the shelves and it's been spotted in Poundland for just £1.50. The Swiss confectionery giant's new Milkybar features a vanilla-flavoured biscuit centre and a milk chocolate base. Posting in the Facebook group New Foods UK, a shopper wrote: "Actually really enjoyed this new Milkybar Chocolate Crumble Bar. "The crunchy cookie pieces with the creamy chocolate works so well. Now available at Poundland." While many chimed in with enthusiasm, one user insisted: "Nothing should be mixed with Milkybar chocolate." The 84g Milkybar Chocolate Crumble was priced at £2.00 in Sainsbury's but now seems to be out of stock. It combines a vanilla-flavoured filling with biscuit pieces, layered on a milk chocolate base and coated in white chocolate. This crumbly twist has a crunchier texture compared to the classic Milkybar. The whole bar packs around 460 kcal, with each of the five segments containing about 92 kcal. A Nestle spokesperson said earlier in the year: "This year, Nestlé is set to introduce a range of exciting confectionery products. "Keep an eye on this space for delightful surprises in store." The company has been expanding its product range in 2025, introducing several new chocolate products alongside innovations in coffee. These chocolate bites are packed with a rich double chocolate brownie flavour and Aero's recognisable bubbly texture. They appear to be exclusive to Sainsbury's for now. It comes months after shoppers spotted another Milkybar flavour from Nestle on supermarket shelves. The Biscoff Milkybar is available at B&M for just £1 - much cheaper than the £2.99 price listed on iFoods UK online. When adding the £6.99 shipping fee, a single bar from iFoods costs nearly £10. Nestle - the world's largest food and beverage company - was founded in 1866 by German-born pharmacist Henri Nestlé in Switzerland. While it originally began with infant formula, its product range now extends from baby food and coffee to confectionery and pet care. The company owns well-known brands like KitKat, Milkybar, Nescafé, Perrier and Purina. 2
