Lidl: Discounter to introduce new features to its 50 stores opening this year
Lidl continues with its supermarket expansion and is on track for 1,000 more stores by the end of 2023. It forms as part of the discounter’s investment plans, including 50 stores opening this year alone, creating 2,000 new jobs.
This will be done via food banks or partner charities.
Christian Härtnagel, CEO at Lidl GB said: “We are calling on developers and landlords up and down the country to help find potential sites for us to build Lidl stores, which demonstrates the continued ambition we have to further expand our store portfolio across the nation.
“Despite the challenges of the past year, we still managed to meet our ambitious target of opening, on average, one new store per week across Great Britain.
“We are looking forward to opening more stores throughout the country and welcoming new colleagues in the coming months and years, so that more communities can access high quality food at the lowest prices on the market.”
