Lidl GB has confirmed that its new supermarket on Stanwell Road in Ashford will open for the first time on Thursday 6th October.

The new, modern store will create around 40 new jobs for the local community and features the supermarket’s famous in-store bakery with ample parking for cars and bicycles.

Over opening weekend, customers will be able to find exclusive deals and offers on­­ selected products such as a Bluetooth Speaker (£7.99) and a Tefal Frying Pan (28cm – £9.99) on Thursday 6th October, as well as a Bread Machine (£24.99) on Friday 7th October.

The store opening times will be between 8am – 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am – 4pm on Sunday, delivering Lidl’s offering of fresh, quality and great value produce.

Lidl GB’s Regional Head of Property, Max Clapton, commented: “It is fantastic that we are able to open our doors and welcome everyone into our new store in Ashford. We have received overwhelming support from local residents, and we would like to thank all those who have played a part in delivering this new store. We now look forward to serving our multi-award winning products to everyone within the local community.”

The new supermarket forms part of the company’s ongoing £1.3bn investment across the country in 2021 and 2022. Its ongoing success shows no signs of slowing, with Lidl GB now the 6th largest supermarket in the UK.
