Supermarket chain Aldi says it is targeting Kendal for a new store.
It said it wanted to open in 23 locations before the end of the year as part of an £800m expansion across the UK.
The retailer, which currently has over 1,000 stores, has previously announced plans to scale to 1,500 stores across the UK and Aldi has confirmed Cumbria is among the areas it is focusing on.
It said it was searching for freehold town-centre, edge-of-centre, and retail park sites suitable for property development in Kendal.
The sites should be able to accommodate a 20,000sq ft store with around 100 parking spaces. Ideally the location will be near a main road with good visibility and access.
Anybody who has a site that may fit Aldi’s requirements should contact realestateacquisitions@aldi.co.uk.
