The German supermarket chain confirmed the redevelopment of the Belvedere warehouse in London of 285 million £ 285 million, which contains the construction of a second building and has effectively doubled the capacity of the site.

This expanded facility is expected to serve 120 stores after being completely operational. At the same time, Lidl began to work on a new warehouse of £ 150 million in Leeds.

These combined developments are expected to produce more than 500 new roles in London with 120 positions in Leeds and 400 in Leeds.

According to the weighing data, the movement underlines the rapid growth in the British market market, where Lidl is currently standing as the sixth largest chain of the country.

The ranking was closer to overtaking the rival Morrison.

Retailer has more than 980 stores and 14 distribution centers in England, Scotland and Wales and thousands of people in Europe.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Lidl’s investment in warehouses in the UK, the “confidence vote,” he said.

“This investment is a strong vote of confidence in the UK economy and Lidl’s loyalty to new warehouse facilities in London and Leeds will unlock hundreds of new jobs, strengthen supply chains and allow families to access affordable, high quality foods.”

Lidl’s Great British Chief Real Estate Officer Richard Taylor said the chain is “proud to play our role in maintaining economic growth”.

Lidl was among the biggest retailer to sign a tax petition to Mrs. Reeves, who said that Britain could contradict the plans to improve living standards.

The letter sent by the British retail consortium, the trade body, said that “it has become increasingly more challenging for us to absorb the cost prints we encounter”.

The Treasury replied, saying that it was a “pro -business government”.
