Construction work on a new Lidl store in Mansfield is underway, the developer behind the project has confirmed.
The new development in Leeming Lane is expected to open in the summer and will bring dozens of new jobs to the Mansfield area.
Developer Strawsons Property agreed a long-term lease with the retailer at the site in 2018 and has since worked alongside the popular supermarket brand to secure planning approval for the site, which was granted by Mansfield District Council at the end of last year.
Adam Jones of Strawsons Property said: “We’re delighted to have reached this significant milestone in the development of the site, bringing back into use a currently disused plot of land and creating a significant number of new jobs in the local area.
“Lidl bring a fantastic offering to the area and we look forward to opening this and other stores with them in 2020.”
The store will be 22,000 sq ft with 103 car parking spaces.
