Lidl to Open 19 Stores and Create up to 640 Jobs
Lidl will create up to 640 jobs with 19 new UK stores featuring energy-saving chillers and smart lighting to support its market expansion and sustainability goals.
- Over the next eight weeks Lidl plans to open 19 new stores across the United Kingdom, including three new stores in London, creating up to 640 jobs.
- After hitting its 1,000th UK store last year, Lidl is targeting around 40 additional locations to February 28, backed by a £43 million investment in more than 70 shops.
- Stores will add customer amenities such as toilets with baby-changing, in-store bakery, 'Middle of Lidl', and 112-space car parks with EV chargers and parent/child bays.
- After clearing a legal challenge from Tesco, Lidl has redeveloped the former Air Balloon pub site and will open the Brough store Thursday with a local ribbon-cutting.
- Industry experts note that Lidl is currently Britain's sixth-largest grocery chain, and experts say it could overtake Morrisons in the coming months if momentum continues.
