Lidl has just confirmed when its new Devon supermarket will open.

The branch is located at Lower Brook Street in Teignmouth, at the site of the former Waitrose.

Customers are invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8am and will be offered free samples of their products throughout the day, along with exclusive deals for the first week of opening.

The new supermarket forms part of the company’s ongoing expansion and regeneration plans in the UK and has created up to 40 new jobs for the local community.

The store has a 1,205m² sales area and has facilities such as an instore bakery, customer toilet and parking for both cars and bicycles.

Lidl GB’s Regional Head of Property, Matthias Daly, commented: “We would like to thank all those who have played a part in bringing this new Lidl store to Teignmouth.

"It is great for us to be able to create more jobs and investment opportunities in the area, and we can’t wait to start serving our multi-award winning products to the local community.”

The Teignmouth branch will open its doors for the first time on Thursday 30th January.

Lidl GB has experienced continued growth over the years.

The latest Kantar Worldpanel results highlighted Lidl’s success with increased sales year on year and market share high of 5.9%.

The Teignmouth branch of Waitrose, which Lidl replaces, closed alongside the Torquay branch last year.

It saw the loss of around 200 jobs.
