Lidl has revealed that it would like to open new stores in a number of areas of Herefordshire and surrounding counties.

Lidl has confirmed that it is actively looking for land in the following locations:

Hereford (North/West)

Hereford (South)

Ledbury

Leominster

Ross-on-Wye

The company is also looking at sites in Builth Wells, Abergavenny and Brecon.

Lidl says it wishes to “continue its phenomenal growth by opening further sites across the country.”

Lidl Requirements: 

  • Town centre or edge of centre and retail parks
  • Ideally main road frontage with easy access and strong pedestrian or traffic flow 
  • Freehold, leasehold or long leasehold opportunities 
  • Unit sizes between 18,000 and 26,500 sq ft and 100+ dedicated car parking spaces
  • 1.5+ acres for standalone stores or up to 4 acres for mixed-use schemes

Lidl recently revealed plans to open a store on land currently occupied by the Three Counties Hotel in Hereford. This has seen a backlash from members of the public with concerns over traffic in the Belmont Road area of the city and increased noise pollution.
