Lidl has announced it wants to open three new stores in the South Hams - in Kingsbridge, Ivybridge and Totnes.

The supermarket chain published a list of locations it wants to invest in on its website.

It is on the hunt for sites with “easy access” and “strong pedestrian or traffic flow”.

The locations need to be in a prominent position in towns, districts or at the edge of city centres.

It is also considering a range of both freehold and leasehold opportunities.

A Lidl spokesperson said: “As part of ongoing national expansion plans, our dedicated property teams are working hard to identify suitable locations across England, Scotland and Wales.

“This is for both new stores where there is demand for Lidl and existing stores that we would like to remodel for customers, which may require relocation to do so.

“We would encourage any landowners or agents who may be aware of suitable sites, to get in touch with our property teams to discuss.

“We regularly keep communities updated as and when we are able to confirm plans for a new store.”
