Lidl announce opening date for brand new Aylesbury store with exclusive offers for shoppers
The public are being invited to attend the grand opening of the new store on the Buckingham Road which will feature the hugely popular bakery and ‘Middle of Lidl’ isle
Lidl has confirmed that its newest store in Aylesbury will open on Thursday 26th November.
The local community is invited to join for the grand opening celebrations from 7:50am, following a ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Cllr Sherrilyn Bateman.
Lidl has now had stores in Aylesbury for the best part of 20 years and the new store will be the third in the town, creating up to 40 new jobs.
Recruitment will be focused heavily on hiring people who live locally, which Lidl says will ensure the team serving shoppers are “part of the fabric of Aylesbury”.
To celebrate the launch in the run-up to Christmas, visitors to the new Buckingham Road store will be treated to complimentary festive food sampling - including the discounter’s Favorina Lebkuchen Hearts, Deluxe Mini Mince Pies, and premium Charcuterie. Shoppers using the Lidl Plus app will also be able to take a turn on the in-store ‘Spin to Win’ wheel for the chance to unlock exclusive coupons for free mince pies, 20% off the Favorina range, or money off their Christmas shop.
The store will be open 8am - 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am - 4pm on Sunday.
Marking the discounter’s continued expansion across the area, the newest store will offer two electric vehicle charging bays for the first time.
With a 1,457m² sales area, the store will feature the discounter’s popular in-store bakery, iconic ‘Middle of Lidl’ aisle, and customer facilities, including toilets with baby-changing. Outside, there will be ample parking for cars and bicycles. As part of Lidl GB’s commitment to renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction, some of the store’s power will be captured from solar panels on the roof.
Kate Bleloch, Regional Head of Property for Lidl GB, said: “We are thrilled to officially open another Lidl store in Aylesbury. This fantastic new store is a direct response to the local demand for high-quality, affordable groceries, and we couldn’t be prouder to welcome the community inside. A huge thank you to everyone who helped us turn these plans into a reality - we can’t wait to start making a real difference to even more weekly shops.”
Lidl GB’s commitment to Aylesbury goes beyond the checkout. Since 2017 the discounter has donated surplus food to local people in need through its Feed it Back scheme, in partnership with Neighbourly. Local good causes that have already benefited from the scheme include Waddesdon Hall, Daytop Multicultural Centre CIC and Aylesbury Vineyard Storehouse.
