Supermarket giants Lidl have included Kenilworth in a list of possible new store locations across the UK.
The list, published on April 26, states that chain wants to reach 1,100 sites by the end of 2025 and has identified 16 new spots around Coventry and Warwickshire.
Since the beginning of 2022 Lidl has opened 23 new stores, including one in Warwick, and is now appealing for landlords with "prominent locations with easy access and strong pedestrian or traffic flow," to get in contact.
And the retailer has revealed that it is offering a 'finder's fee' to members of the public who successfully identify suitable sites for new Lidl stores.
The fee is either 1.5 per cent of the total freehold purchase price or 10 per cent of the first year's rent for leaseholds.
Richard Taylor, chief development officer at Lidl GB, said: "We know that the majority of British shoppers still love doing their shopping in person and we are as committed as ever to opening new stores and enhancing our existing ones.
"We're opening an average of one new store a week, which is incredible, and our teams have done a phenomenal job of keeping that pace going over the last couple of years.
"But there are still communities up and down the country that are telling us how much they want – and need - a Lidl store.
"We work with some of the best people in the industry to identify new sites, but we also know how engaged our future and existing customers are and we want to build on this.
"Our finder's fees are, therefore, available to absolutely anyone that can identify a viable option for a new store that we're not already aware of, and we welcome any suitable suggestions that will help up us to meet our ambitious target of 1,100 stores by the end of 2025."
