As part of its continued mission to provide all communities across the country with access to affordable, high-quality food, Lidl has published its 2025 site requirements brochure, outlining hundreds of potential locations for new stores – including high streets, retail parks, and mixed-use town centre sites.
The updated list features locations across England, Scotland and Wales – from Newton Mearns to Dawlish, and Builth Wells to Aylsham as well as the London Borough of Barnet – reflecting Lidl’s accelerated expansion plans to meet growing customer demand.
“This level of investment is a clear sign of our ambition, says Richard Taylor, Chief Real Estate Officer at Lidl GB. “As we enter our fourth decade in Great Britain and hurtle towards a thousand stores, there are still so many parts of the country crying out for convenient access to a Lidl store. That’s why we welcome the measures proposed in the Government’s Planning and Infrastructure Bill – they recognise the urgent need to remove barriers to development and support the kind of growth we at Lidl are working towards.”
This year will see the completion of the expansion of Lidl’s Belvedere Regional Distribution Centre, which has more than doubled in size. To support its growing estate, the discounter is also set to start construction on a brand-new distribution centre in Leeds later in the year.
