LIDL has announced a planning application has been submitted for a site on Limerick’s Dock Road. If approved, the new store will expand the retailer’s Limerick City portfolio to four stores
In a media release, a spokesperson for the chain said, “Lidl is working with architects and planners to ensure that the new development and addition of a Lidl store will contribute positively and add a vibrancy to the Limerick Docklands area.”
They noted the new store would create 30 new local jobs.
The planned store will incorporate a range of sustainability features including an ISO 50001 certified Energy Management System, electric vehicle charger spaces and a solar panel system.
The spokesperson said, “It will also offer the retailer’s growing customer base a superior shopping experience with a spacious interior layout, high ceilings and wide aisles creating a comfortable shopping experience for customers.”
