Around 40 jobs have been created through the store, which was built as part of Lidl’s ongoing £1.3bn expansion and regeneration plans across the UK.
The new site has a 1,380m² sales area, and includes an instore bakery, customer toilets and parking for both cars and bicycles.
The firm says it will be giving surplus produce to several local charities, including The Cedarwood Trust and Pearey House Centre for Visually Impaired.
This will be done through Lidl’s Feed it Back scheme, which is run in partnership with Neighbourly and connects Lidl stores with charities, foodbanks, community cafes and kitchens, putting food surplus to good use every day.
David Murphy, Lidl GB’s regional head of property, said: “It is fantastic that we are able to open our doors and welcome local residents into our new store in Preston Grange.
"We would like to thank everyone who has played a part in delivering this store and we look forward to serving our multi-award-winning products to the local community."
In line with latest Government guidance, while no longer legally required, it is recommended that those who can, continue to wear face coverings in crowded or indoor spaces, including when visiting the store.
The supermarket also has dedicated cleaning stations at entrances, hand sanitiser, and protective screens at checkouts.
The store's opening times are 8am to 10pm from Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
