And of course, the store will have what we're really all desperate for a mooch around - THE MIDDLE OF LIDL AISLE.
During the first week of opening, customers will be able to find exclusive deals and offers including a Crock-Pot Slow Cooker for £9.99 (available on Thursday 2nd September), a Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner for £19.99 (available on Friday 3rd September) and a Mini Oven for just £14.99 (available on Saturday 4th September).
As part of the company’s ongoing £1.3bn expansion and regeneration plans across Great Britain for 2021 and 2022, the store will create up to 40 new jobs for the local community. It will have an 855m² sales area and will feature facilities including an in-store bakery, customer toilets and ample car parking.
As part of Lidl’s Feed It Back initiative, in partnership with Neighbourly, the new store will redistribute surplus food and customer donations to local charities including Pilton Equalities Project, a grassroots organisation that supports elderly and vulnerable adults in North Edinburgh.
Lidl GB’s Regional Head of Property, Gordon Rafferty, commented: “We would like to thank all those who have played a part in bringing this new Lidl to Craigleith. It’s fantastic that we’re opening our first store in this popular Edinburgh area and creating more jobs. We look forward to serving our multi-award winning products to the local community.”
