LIDL has confirmed that the opening of its new store on Strawberry Way in Wells will be on Thursday, January 30.
The state-of-the-art Lidl has been built on the same site as the original store, which served the local community for almost three decades.
Incorporating a 1,512 sq m sales area, the new store is nearly twice the size of its predecessor. It will still open between 8am-9pm Monday to Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sundays.
To celebrate the launch, there will be Lidl Plus offers and complimentary food sampling throughout the opening weekend.
The store has an expanded bakery and chiller section, whilst retaining the discounter’s popular Middle Aisle and best value products. Enhanced facilities include a customer toilet with baby changing amenities and a significantly larger customer car park, offering more parent & child and disabled parking spaces, as well as electric vehicle rapid charging points.
The new store will see the creation of 20 additional roles.
Glen Stidever, Regional Head of Property at Lidl GB, said: “We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our new and improved store here in Wells. Not only is this store almost double the size, but it also remains in a prominent and accessible location within the city, ensuring residents still have convenient access to our affordable offering.
“We’d like to thank everyone for their patience during the construction process – we can’t wait to welcome our customers back and we’re confident they’ll love the upgrades as much as we do.”
