Supermarket chain Lidl is searching to secure sites for new stores in the area.

The brand has published its latest list of priority locations for new Lidl stores across the country, including Harpenden, Hatfield, Hitchin, Letchworth, London Colney, Potters Bar, Royston, Shefford, St Albans, Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City.

Lidl GB's chief development officer, Richard Taylor, said: "Our store expansion has been and continues to be unparalleled.

"In the last three months alone, we’ve opened 15 new stores – more than any other retailer, and in 2022 we welcomed customers through the doors of over 50 new stores, but we won’t be stopping there.

"Our vision is to have over 1,100 stores in the future, but really there’s no ceiling on our ambition or growth potential. What’s important is that we take a strategic and sustainable approach to getting there."
