Lidl GB has confirmed that its new supermarket on Mottingham Road in Mottingham is now open.
The modern store will create around 40 jobs for the local community, with new starters being amongst the highest paid in the supermarket sector following the discounter’s wage increases last month.
Featuring Lidl’s famous in-store bakery, the new store will be open between 8am – 10pm on Monday to Saturday and 10am – 4pm on Sunday.
Lidl GB recently won over a dozen Good Housekeeping Institute taste tests, including items from its Easter range, such as the Deluxe Luxury Apple Hot Cross Buns, Deluxe West Country Lamb Leg and Deluxe Triple Chocolate Easter Egg.
The new store comes to Mottingham as Lidl GB was named the fastest growing supermarket in the UK, with sales rising by an annual rate of 25.8 per cent, pushing its market share to 7.4 per cent.
Lidl GB’s Regional Head of Property, Max Clapton, commented: “We are thrilled to have opened the doors to our new store.
