Discount retailer to open new Southampton store

One of the UK’s best-known discount retailers has secured planning permission to open a new 27,000 sq ft store in Southampton, creating up to 40 new jobs in the process, a news report can reveal.

Lidl will open a new outlet on Victoria Road in Woolston will feature facilities including a bakery, 14 tills, 115 parking spaces and three customer restrooms.

The German-owned supermarket chain revealed last year that it wanted to open a new store in Woolston as part of its ongoing expansion within the UK.

Regional head of property Jason Gratton said: "We could not be more delighted to have received planning permission, and look forward to getting started on construction.

"I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the local community for their continued support, and very much look forward to opening our doors and offering our fresh, quality, great value products in the not too distant future."
