The threat to the big four supermarkets from discount chains stepped up a notch on Fridayas Germany's Lidl unveiled plans for a £220m expansion in the UK.
The company will open 20 more stores by the end of this year, taking its total to 620. It said the move would create a total of 2,500 jobs in the stores, at its headquarters in Wimbledon, south London, and at a distribution centre in Northfleet in the Thames estuary.
