A supermarket chain says it is still on the lookout for a location for a new store in Lichfield.

Aldi said the area remained in its sights as part of a plan to open 100 new stores across the UK in the next two years.

It currently operates 920 supermarkets but hopes to continue expanding with a £1.3billion investment in new locations.

The company originally outlined [plans to add to its existing site in Lichfield last year](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/supermarket-chain-on-the-lookout-for-new-store-locations-in-and-around-lichfield/).

A spokesperson said they were still looking for a prominent location big enough to house a 20,000 sq ft store and 100 dedicated parking spaces.

Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi UK, said:

> “We’re continuing to gain even more customers – with over 60% of UK households shopping with Aldi in the last year.  
>  
> “Our focus is on expanding our store estate, making sure Aldi is accessible to as many of these new shoppers across the country as possible.  
>  
> “Looking ahead, we are excited to provide millions of new customers with access to Aldi’s award-winning quality and unbeatable value as we create even more places and more ways to shop with us.”
