German supermarket chain Lidl has unveiled plans to open a new store on the site of the former Lookers car showroom on Knaresborough Road in Harrogate.

The company has yet to submit a formal planning application but has opened a public consultation for the store, which they say will create about 40 jobs.

The 1,263 sq metre supermarket would have an in-store bakery and 94 car parking spaces.

It would open from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.

Lidl’s regional property director, Robert Beaumont, said:

"We have been looking forward to bringing a new store to Harrogate for a while and the former Lookers site is a great location.
"We are extremely excited about the prospect of opening our first Lidl in the area and serving our fresh, quality and incredibly good value produce to the local community."



Lidl entered the UK market in 1994 and now has over 800 stores across the country, including one in Knaresborough.
