Lidl GB has revealed hundreds of target locations across Great Britain where it is seeking sites for new stores.
From Garthdee in Aberdeen and Aldgate in London to Ystradgynlais in Wales and Windsor in Berkshire, the latest list of locations are all detailed in the supermarket’s latest Site Requirements Brochure which has been published today.
Lidl is actively seeking freehold, leasehold, or long-leasehold sites in prominent locations with strong footfall and easy accessibility. A competitive finder’s fee is available to anyone who successfully identifies a previously unknown site that leads to a developed store.
With locations up and down the country, each one will generate high quality jobs for local people with some of the most competitive benefits in the sector, with entry-level hourly rates of £13.45 nationally, increasing to £14.45 with length of service. In London, hourly pay starts from £14.80, rising further to £15.30 with length of service.
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, Lidl GB confirmed plans to open more than 50 new stores in the next 12 months as part of a £600million investment. The supermarket has held a 33-month streak as the fastest-growing bricks-and-mortar supermarket in the UK, with the publication of its latest target locations signaling a clear intention to continue to grow at pace after opening its 1,000 store in East Grinstead last November.
The benefits of Lidl from its operations, investments and employment extend far beyond the basket. Beyond increasing access to great value products, the discounter’s estate directly increases vital food donations. Every store is linked to local charities and through its surplus food donations, activated via Neighbourly, Lidl provided 18.5 million meals, supporting 6.8 million people in need in a single year2 . This is one example of ‘The Lidl Effect’ in action.
To support this nationwide ambition, Lidl GB is already cementing a strong operational foundation. The construction of its new warehouse in Leeds is progressing well with operations due to begin next year.
