Lidl GB has received planning permission for a circa 54,000 sq m (circa 581,000 sq ft) warehouse on a 35-acre site in Gildersome, Leeds.
The discounter submitted a planning application to Leeds City Council for the new regional distribution centre (RDC) earlier this year.
Lidl opened a new RDC in Luton in September – the company’s largest in the world – and the Leeds RDC is expected to generate around 400 new jobs.
Ryan McDonnell, CEO of Lidl GB, said: “We are seeing growing numbers of new customers coming to us and are now the third biggest supermarket in London, as well as the fastest growing supermarket in the whole of the UK.
“On top of this, we are also delighted to have secured planning permission for a new warehouse in Leeds this week, meaning we’ll be able to give even more households access to our high-quality affordable products in the long term.”
