A Lidl store in north Belfast will reopen next week with the creation of 25 new jobs following a £5m redevelopment.
Lidl Northern Ireland said the 1,700 sq m unit on Ballysillan Road will relaunch on November 13, with the first 10 customers receiving a voucher to spend in-store.
It said the opening on a previously vacant site was a “significant milestone” in its £150m investment and expansion programme.
The store has been modernised following Lidl’s “concept” design, with parking for 108 vehicles and two electric vehicle charging points.
