Lidl Ireland is delighted to announce its Ballyvolane store is now open after an extensive refurbishment. The reinvestment in the supermarket will create 6 new jobs in the community adding to the existing store team of 21 employees. The new look store promises Lidl’s renowned range of top-quality products at market leading prices.
The Ballyvolane store closed temporarily earlier this year while it underwent the transformation including a front and side extension adding to an even more spacious shopping experience including full height glazing on the front façade offering natural light within the sales area. The 1,418m2 modern sales area also incorporates a large bakery area with freshly baked breads and pastries, one of Lidl’s most popular features.
