The German firm’s UK managing director Ronny Gottschlich told The Daily Telegraph this weekend it would expand its present 600 stores to up to 1,500.
A company spokesperson tells recruiter.co.uk it would be difficult to predict how many jobs the new shops would create. According to the Telegraph, Lidl has 1,300 UK staff.
