Lidl unveils wish list of over 100 target locations
Lidl has unveiled its latest list of target locations as it looks to expand its estate.
The discount supermarket retailer is actively seeking freehold, leasehold, or long-leasehold sites, and said it would offer a competitive finder’s fee to anyone who successfully identifies a previously unknown site that leads to a developed store.
Locations include Garthdee in Aberdeen and Aldgate in London, to Ystradgynlais in Wales and Windsor in Berkshire.
Richard Taylor, Chief Real Estate Officer at Lidl GB, said: “At Lidl GB, we currently have one of the most ambitious store opening programmes of any supermarket and we are more committed than ever to bringing our high quality and low priced products to even more communities across the country.
“All of our stores deliver more than just affordable products. Each one also brings quality jobs, opportunities for British suppliers to showcase the best of our home grown produce and support to local good causes in the communities each one serves. In uncertain times, shoppers and communities can count on us.”
Earlier this month, the retailer confirmed plans to open over 50 new stores over the next 12 months as part of a £600m investment. The supermarket has held a 33-month streak as the fastest-growing bricks-and-mortar supermarket in the UK, according to Numerator, having opened its 1,000th store in East Grinstead last November.
