Lidl plans to open first Harrogate store
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.
