Tesco has been accused of ditching plans to build a gym and a new community centre near one of its Leicester stores in favour of a pub and a drive-through restaurant.
The supermarket giant has drawn up proposals for a site in Maidenwell Avenue, Hamilton, near its existing outlet.
Planning officers have recommended the project be approved by Leicester city councillors, who will discuss it on Wednesday.
Tesco says its pub plan is popular locally and it has also already donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to developing a library and health centre nearby.
However, Dr Nick Henwood, chairman of Hamilton Residents' Association, said: "The not-for-profit provision has been abandoned in favour of only adding food outlets.
"It's all about getting fat, not getting fit.
"A pub and a family restaurant may well be welcomed by residents, but a McDonalds' drive-through is only 500 metres away.
"We do not need another fast foot outlet so near."
Dr Henwood has urged the members of the planning committee to ask Tesco to reject the scheme and come back with plans for non-profit community facilities.
Leicester East MP Keith Vaz is also opposing the plan.
He said: "I have received several e-mails opposing the planning application.
"They felt this development would increase traffic, encourage anti-social behaviour and litter and cause great disruption to the lives of the local community – and that Tesco has failed to keep promises in respect of the development it has made when seeking extensions to this in the past.
"That is why I and all the local councillors oppose what Tesco is proposing to do."
Tesco, which recently opposed KFC's plans for a drive-through in Waterside Road, Rushey Mead, has said it latest plan will create 100 jobs.
It has put forward the scheme through a subsidiary firm it owns called Spen Hill Developments.
While 15 letters of objection have been sent to the council, there have been eight in favour, saying the jobs are needed and a family pub and restaurant would improve the area.
A Spen Hill spokesman said a consultation was carried out with residents before the application was submitted and 61 per cent of people responding strongly agreed the plan would make a positive addition to the area.
A Tesco spokesman said: "Our store has been at the heart of the community since it opened in 1999, something we are very proud of.
"As part of the extension to the original store in 2002 we were pleased to make a significant contribution towards the development of a library and health centre.
"Plans for the introduction of a pub, operated by a third party, have been very popular for many years and we hope councillors listen to their planning officers and the local community and grant approval."
In 2002, Tesco paid £400,000 towards the library and health centre in return for getting planning permission to extend the store.
The company also says the Hamilton branch is due to be refreshed next year and options for a community room for meetings and events to be included.
