Supermarket giant Lidl will pay a finder's fee to anyone that identifies a suitable site for a new store.
The supermarket aims to reach 1,100 stores by the end of 2025, from 800 now, and is now recruiting the public to help.
This fee can be up to £22,500 if you find a site that Lidl ends up buying.
The fee will be 1.5% of the total freehold purchase price or 10% of first year’s rent for leaseholds.
Lidl wants to open stores in locations including:
Bristol
Derby
Liverpool
London
Manchester
Nottingham
Oxford
Southampton
Swansea
Birmingham
Sheffield
Cambridge
Edinburgh
Since the beginning of 2022, Lidl has already opened 23 new stores, including in Warwick, Hounslow and Straiton.
Lidl chief development officer Richard Taylor said: “We know that the majority of British shoppers still love doing their shopping in person and we are as committed as ever to opening new stores and enhancing our existing ones.
"We’re opening an average of one new store a week, which is incredible, and our teams have done a phenomenal job of keeping that pace going over the last couple of years.
"But there are still communities up and down the country that are telling us how much they want – and need - a Lidl store.
"We work with some of the best people in the industry to identify new sites, but we also know how engaged our future and existing customers are and we want to build on this.
"Our finder’s fees are, therefore, available to absolutely anyone that can identify a viable option for a new store that we’re not already aware of, and we welcome any suitable suggestions that will help up us to meet our ambitious target of 1,100 stores by the end of 2025.”

The sort of location Lidl is after must be "prominent" with easy access and strong pedestrian or traffic flow.
Site plans must be between 18,000 and 26,500 sq ft and parking spaces for 100 cars.
Sites can be in town centres, the edge of centres and retail parks.
Earlier this month The Mirror reported Aldi has been named the most popular supermarket in the UK, according to polling data from YouGov.
Shoppers rated the budget store ahead of Big Four grocers Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Asda.
Aldi was given a 79% popularity rating in the YouGov poll, with posh supermarket chain Marks and Spencer coming second with 75%.
Budget rival Lidl was in third place, also with a rating of 75%, with Tesco Express, the convenience store branch of Tesco, came fourth with 73%.
Iceland, Morrisons and Tesco were next in line, each with 72%, followed by Asda in eighth place with 70%, then Sainsbury’s with 69% and Co-op with 64%.
Jack’s, the discount chain set up by Tesco which has now closed, came bottom of the table, at number 38 and with a popularity rating of just 8%.
