Work begins on new Mayo Lidl store

LIDL have turned the sod on one of their latest developments in Mayo - a brand new state-of-the-art store in Claremorris.

On the back of recent developments in Ballyvolane, Cork, and Corbally, Limerick, the retailer is set to unveil an enhanced shopping experience with a number of innovative features including ISO 50001 certified energy management system, electric vehicle charging points and a solar panel system.

The new store will create up to 35 new permanent jobs with the retailer, as well as supporting 80 additional local construction jobs through the development phase.

Lidl intend to open the new store in May 2022.
