Supermarket giant Lidl says it is looking to open new stores in Ilkley, Skipton and Keighley - as well as Otley and Guiseley.
Lidl has revealed its wishlist for hundreds of new stores across the country, creating thousands of jobs.
And it’s looking for sites in Keighley, Skipton, Ilkley, Otley and Guiseley.
The chain's nearest stores are currently in Bingley and Colne.
Richard Taylor, Lidl GB Chief Development Officer, said:
“As we celebrate our 30th year, our commitment to ensuring that all households across the country have access to high quality produce at affordable prices is stronger than ever.
“We’re planning to open hundreds of new Lidl stores but ultimately see no ceiling on our ambition or growth potential.
“This is why we’re continuing to invest in new locations whilst exploring innovative routes to expansion.
“As we look ahead, we’re excited to welcome even more new shoppers to our existing stores, as well as those we’re planning to open across the country in the coming months and years.”
Finder’s fee
Lidl has revealed it is offering a finders’ fee to anyone that can help it find find suitable sites for new stores.
A 1.5% of the total freehold purchase price is being offered, or 10% of the first year’s rent for freeholds.
This would equate to £22,500 for a completed £1.5m site purchase.
Lidl has said it is looking for sites in “prominent locations” with easy access and strong pedestrian or traffic flow.
It would also need 1.5+ acres of land for a standalone store, and up to four acres for mixed-use schemes.
A spokesperson said:
"Sites should allow for unit sizes between 18,000 and 26,500 sq ft and over 100 dedicated car parking spaces, and Lidl’s flexible approach means it will consider freehold, leasehold or long leasehold opportunities."
