Lidl GB has revealed plans to invest half a billion pounds in its expansion, with 40 new stores opening this year, including sites in Livingston and Edinburgh.
The discounter has also published its 2025 site requirements brochure, highlighting the following potential locations in Scotland:
- Banchory
- Bearsden
- Newton Mearns
- Peebles
- St Andrews
- Stonehaven
Richard Taylor, Chief Development Officer at Lidl GB, said: “This level of investment is a clear sign of our ambition. 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.”
