Lidl, the German discount supermarket chain, is planning to double the number of stores it has in the UK.

Lidl wants to expand from 600 stores to as many as 1,500, UK managing director Ronny Gottschlich told the Sunday Telegraph.

Lidl is planning to open at least 30 new stores a year, he said.

The retailer's sales have been increasing, in contrast to big supermarkets such as Tesco.

"We really see ourselves these days more of a supermarket than the hard discounter of the past," Mr Gottschlich said. "Those times are over."

The staples are usually always there. The offers change in a weekly basis, at least over here.
The biggest problem with Aldi is the very limited range of products and only own brand goods. We usually do a round of Aldi or Lidl for the staples and then go to Famila or Rewe for the rest.
