A popular supermarket chain has announced they are looking to build more stores across Stoke-on-Trent. 

This week, Lidl released their priority list of locations for new stores as part of a nationwide expansion programme. 

The branch already has seven stores across Stoke-on-Trent, but plan to build even more if the right site can be found. 

Lidl are looking for areas with easy access for pedestrians and space for parking as well as sites which are on the edge of a town, in a town centre or on a retail park.

Lidl, Dividy Road, is one of seven Stoke stores currently open (Nub News).

Priority locations across Stoke-on-Trent include:

• Cheadle
• Chesterton
• Lightwood
• Meir
• Trentham

Ryan McDonnell, Lidl GB CEO, commented: "The last few years have been challenging for everyone, but we've made it clear that we're more committed than ever to ensuring that every single household has access to a Lidl store. 

"We had over 1.4 million new shoppers coming to us from our competitors over the course of last year. 

"As we progress further into 2023, we know that more shoppers will make the switch, and whichever of our stores they choose, they know they're getting the best value."
