The grounds have ample customer car parking with EV charger points and a wildflower garden creating a haven for pollinators like bees, butterflies and hoverflies, which are essential for the production of the fresh fruit and vegetables that Lidl Ireland is renowned for.
Commenting at the official opening of the Mallow store Lidl Store Manager, David Duffy said:
“We delighted to finally open the doors of our new Mallow store and welcome customers to experience the new features of the store including larger aisles, higher ceilings and a bakery area with freshly baked breads and pastries, one of Lidl’s most popular features. The team have been working very hard behind the scenes to get the store up and running, so customers can shop our great range of quality and affordably priced products. We look forward to welcoming shoppers now we are open.”
