Lidl unveils 'wish list' of locations for new London stores including Camden and Clapham


Lidl GB has unveiled its “wish list” of locations for potential new stores in London as the supermarket giant celebrates its 30th anniversary.
The chain says it already has plans to open hundreds of new stores across the country, including locations in Fulham, Wandsworth, Hoxton and Canning Town.

The site should be at least one and a half acres for a standalone store and up to four acres for mixed-use schemes. Sites should allow for unit sizes between 18,000 and 26,500 sq ft and over 100 dedicated car parking spaces.
Lidl said it will consider freehold, leasehold or long leasehold opportunities.
Should a site be successfully identified, the discounter will pay a finder’s fee of either 1.5% of the total freehold purchase price, or 10% of the first year’s rent for leaseholds, which would equate to £22,500 for a completed £1.5m site purchase.

Richard Taylor, chief development officer at Lidl GB, said: "We have also been the fastest growing bricks and mortar supermarket for the past seven months in a row.
"With an exceptional store network and our laser focus on operational excellence, we're welcoming more customers through our doors than ever before, which positions us perfectly for continued expansion.
"We're planning to open hundreds of new Lidl stores but ultimately see no ceiling on our ambition or growth potential."
