The bargain retailer has published a list of locations it would like to open new stores and various areas in Liverpool are included.

Among the areas listed are Liverpool city centre , Woolton and Wirral as Lidl aims to focus on town centre, edge of centre, retail park and metropolitan locations.
All potential new stores will include Lidl’s famous Bakery, offering freshly baked bread, biscuits and pastries, created by the discounter’s in-store bakers throughout the day.
Alongside Lidl’s usual quality food, all new stores will feature solar panels on the exterior to provide renewable energy for the site as well as electric vehicle charging points.
Each new store will also become part of Lidl’s food redistribution programme Feed It Back, which sees surplus food donated to those within local communities that need it the most, via food banks or partner charities.
Christian Härtnagel, CEO at Lidl GB, said: “We are calling on developers and landlords up and down the country to help find potential sites for us to build Lidl stores, which demonstrates the continued ambition we have to further expand our store portfolio across the nation.
“Despite the challenges of the past year, we still managed to meet our ambitious target of opening, on average, one new store per week across Great Britain.
