Full list of 9 Lidl supermarkets opening this month creating hundreds of jobs

Britons on a budget have been in for a treat this month as new Lidl supermarkets open their doors across the country.

The German retail giant says nine ‘state-of-the-art stores’ will have opened by the time March hits.

These new shops will add hundreds of new employees to Lidl’s over 34,000-strong workforce.

A number of superstores have already greeted new customers, including in Walsall in the West Midlands, and Wombourne in South Staffordshire

Five existing Lidls closed for refurbishment have re-opened this month too.

The retailer pledges they are ‘bigger and better’.

The locations of these done-up stores include West Ealing in west London, Oldbrook in Milton Keynes, Wells in Somerset, Blantyre in Scotland and Cwmbran in Wales.

These stores now have ‘bigger sales areas and modern amenities’, Lidl said.

Lidl branches in West Ealing, Preston and Wombourne all launched as recently as Thursday.

Jobseekers are also in for a treat, as openings in West Ealing, Wombourne and Walsall will bring 40 new jobs to each area alone.

The discount grocer opened the doors of a wave of new branches in the run-up to Christmas last year as part of its ‘ongoing expansion drive’.

New supermarket locations included Berwick Green in Bristol, Bovey Tracey in Devon and Stirchley in Birmingham.

Lidl bosses hope to open more branches this year, increasing their existing 970 Lidl stores to 1,100.

Richard Taylor, chief development officer at Lidl GB, said: ‘As we begin the new year, we’re maintaining our momentum and opening nine state-of-the-art stores, delivering bigger and better shopping experiences to new communities and those we’ve proudly served for an average of 26 years.

‘After a record-breaking Christmas, where millions of households turned to Lidl, these openings reflect the growing demand for our unbeatable value and quality.

‘This is just the start – we’ve got more openings in the pipeline this year alone and can’t wait to welcome even more customers, both loyal and new, through our doors in the weeks ahead.’
