A planning application has been submitted to Wyre Forest District Council to convert the shop in Bridge Street into a restaurant with a takeaway service.
The Original Factory Shop, a discount store, closed in summer 2023.
Stourport shopkeeper Kash Mepa then opened up a discount store at the site in October last year.
A heritage statement, submitted with the planning application, states: "There are no proposed works to the property other than the inclusion of an external flue.
"The proposal is a simple application for a change of use and proposes not external changes or alterations the shop front or advertisements.
"The proposed use will be a restaurant with a takeaway facility.
"The level of takeaway is at present undetermined and thus an approach seeking planning permission has been taken to avoid any future complications."
A decision on the plans will be made at a later date.
