Discount supermarket Lidl has revealed a list of 43 towns and communities across Wales where it would like to open new stores.

The retailer is planning a £500 million expansion and has earmarked locations in Powys among “areas of interest” which are desirable for new stores.

The company has published its 2025 site requirements brochure, which outlines potential areas for expansion, though the list represents a selection of desirable sites, not confirmed plans for new stores.

The three locations in Powys are listed as Brecon, Ystradgynlais, and Builth Wells/Llandrindod Wells - the latter grouped together a single entry.

Merthyr Tydfil and Abergavenny are also included on the wish-list.

Richard Taylor, Chief Development Officer at Lidl GB, said: “This level of investment is a clear sign of our ambition. As we enter our fourth decade in Great Britain and hurtle towards a thousand stores, there are still so many parts of the country crying out for convenient access to a Lidl store. That’s why we welcome the measures proposed in the Government’s Planning and Infrastructure Bill – they recognise the urgent need to remove barriers to development and support the kind of growth we at Lidl are working towards.”

“Our latest site requirements brochure reinforces the scale of our ambition for the future. New Lidl stores mean new jobs, new opportunities for British suppliers, and continued investment into local economies. We’re proud to be one of the fastest-growing supermarkets in the country, and with this investment, we’re taking another big step in our journey.”
