Lidl UK’s existing store portfolio consists of 600 stores across England, Scotland and Wales and they currently employ over 11,000 staff, excluding contractors. They will be hiring across all parts of the business, from store managers to store assistants, as they look to expand their number of stores across the country.
Lidl UK’s reported market share in December 2012 saw an increase from 2.6% in the same month in the previous year to 2.8% with overall sales increases reported at almost 11% by market research firm Kantar World Panel.
Lidl spokesperson Georgina O’Donnell said: “Consumers are drawn to Lidl for its premium quality products at low prices but are encouraged to return when they realise they can do their entire weekly shop for a great deal less money than at other supermarkets.
“We’re looking forward to bringing our stores to more towns and cities around the country and are encouraged by the recent sales results demonstrating that Lidl has become more and more relevant to British consumers today.”
