US EditionLidl to invest £500m to support plans for 40 new stores
- Lidl announced plans in 2025 to spend £500 million opening 40 new stores across the UK, including almost 250 sites in London.
- The expansion follows Lidl's growth as Britain's sixth biggest supermarket and its aim to enter affluent central London neighborhoods previously dominated by other chains.
- Additional measures supporting Lidl's growth include completing the expansion of its Belvedere distribution centre and targeting new areas like Knightsbridge and Marylebone for store openings.
- Richard Taylor, Lidl GB's chief real estate officer, emphasized that their significant investment demonstrates the company's strong commitment as it approaches nearly 1,000 stores across the UK.
- These developments will create new jobs, enhance local economies, and align with government planning reforms intended to ease development barriers for supermarket expansion.
