A date has been confirmed for when Lidl's new supermarket will open at the old Beechdale swimming baths site.
It will open its doors from 8am on Thursday, October 1, at a new retail park off Beechdale Road.
Lidl GB’s regional head of property, Dominic Bryan, said: “We would like to thank all those who have played a part in bringing this new Lidl store to Nottingham.
"It is great for us to be able to create more jobs and investment opportunities in the area, and we can’t wait to start serving our multi-award winning products to the local community.”
Around 40 new jobs have been created for the local community.
The store has a 1,410m² sales area and includes an in-store bakery, longer-style tills, customer toilets, baby changing facilities and parking for cars and bicycles.
Its opening times will be between 8am – 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am – 4pm on Sunday.
Lidl has a range of social distancing measures to help maintain a safe store environment for staff and customers.
These include floor markings, reminding customers of the importance of maintaining a two-metre distance from each other when shopping, along with regular tannoy announcements.
Dedicated cleaning stations are also in place at store entrances, including hand sanitiser, disinfectant and wipes, for customers to use on their trolleys and baskets.
The supermarket has also installed protective screens at checkouts along with the protective visors and masks for colleagues to wear if they wish.
Staff continue to encourage customers to pay by contactless payment methods where possible.
Earlier this year people in the area said the supermarket was "definitely needed".
Meanwhile, Costa has expressed an interest in opening a drive-through at the retail park - and Subway also wants to open a new sandwich shop at the site after the closure of two eateries in Nottingham city centre.
Officials at bakery giant Greggs have also said they're looking into opening a new shop there.
The Beechdale swimming baths shut in 2015 after Nottingham City Council opened the £16 million Harvey Hadden Sports Village, which has its own swimming facilities.
The dishevelled former bath house, built in the 1970s, was demolished in 2017.
The site sat empty until work began in earnest last year.
