PLANS by the German budget supermarket Lidl for a major distribution centre in Doncaster are expected to create 500 jobs in the district.
Lidl has confirmed that it plans to open a new distribution centre at the iPort in Rossington, a £500 million logistics development.
The confirmation comes six months after the Yorkshire Post revealed that proposals for a Lidl base had been discussed.
The firm says that the announcement of the new £70 million warehouse marks a milestone in the supermarket’s expansion plans within the UK, and follows the opening of Lidl’s newest regional distribution centre in Southampton earlier this month, which created more than 400 new jobs.
