Lidl has announced a list of 'priority locations' across the North East where it hopes to open an abundance of new outlets.
The leading discount retailer at the time of writing has a 950-strong store count across England, Scotland and Wales - but aims to increase its number of UK sites to 1,100 by the end of 2025.
And in a business update, the German supermarket said that it is looking for 'prominent locations' featuring 'strong pedestrian or traffic flow' at a minimum of 1.5 acres for standalone units. It is also considering up to four acres per mixed-use site.
