Date revealed for Hinckley's new Lidl opening

The supermarket chain say they are almost ready for customers.

Hinckley's brand new Lidl superstore on Coventry Road will open on 22nd August. 

The supermarket brand built its new store on the former HJ Hall site and they say it is almost complete. 

The site is located on the corner of Marchant Road and Coventry Road, on the western edge of Hinckley town centre.

The new store is bigger than the existing store on Hawley Road which will be replaced.

Lidl said the new stores marks a significant investment in Hinckley and said it would be announcing exciting opening offers for customers in the next few weeks. 

Aldi are also building a new flagship discount supermarket in Hinckley on Holliers Walk. Work start in January to clear the site. 

Aldi previously said the opening of the new store in August or September 2019 would create up to 40 permanent jobs. There will be 105 car parking spaces with free parking for up to 90 minutes. 

The consultation document reads: "We currently have a store on Watling Street, Hinckley which is very popular and performing well. The introduction of a new store in Hollier’s Walk would not only provide residents in the heart of Hinckley with more convenient access to an Aldi food store, but also reduce pressure on our other store, providing a better shopping experience for customers at both sites, helping them to save time and money."

Aldi have yet to confirm a date for the store's official opening.
