A SUPERMARKET giant has today (Wednesday, November 27) confirmed the opening of its highly anticipated new store in Flintshire.

Lidl is opening a new store on the High Street in Connah’s Quay on Thursday, December 5. It is replacing the existing store in Queensferry, which has served the community for nearly three decades. The company said the new store brings an upgraded shopping experience to local residents. 
 
To mark the occasion there will be a festive carol service and ribbon-cutting ceremony, with pupils from the local Ysgol Bryn Deva Primary School taking part. 
 
The new store, open 8am–10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am–4pm on Sundays, is 25 per cent larger with a sales area of 1,256m². This bigger and better store now includes Lidl’s renowned bakery, an expanded chiller section, and improved car parking.

The new store still includes the beloved Middle of Lidl, as well as customer toilets with baby changing facilities. Shoppers can also look forward to Lidl Plus offers and complimentary food sampling throughout the reopening weekend.
