Only 26 UK sites could host a new Aldi or Lidl, review finds
Original: aldi lidl land agreements cma rules
A review of supermarket land agreements found just 26 sites on the UK market suitable for a new Aldi or Lidl store, highlighting how restrictive covenants and exclusivity deals limit where discounters can open. The findings are feeding into Competition and Markets Authority scrutiny of whether the biggest grocers' property deals shut rivals out of prime locations, with retailers and regulators weighing reform.
Why now: The CMA is examining supermarket land agreements, and the finding that so few viable sites exist for the discounters gives the debate fresh urgency.
