Part of the company’s ongoing commitment to the Greater Manchester area, the new supermarkets represent a multi-million pound investment and the creation of around 80 jobs.

Nick Harvey, Lidl GB’s regional head of property, said: “We are delighted to be opening our latest stores in this fantastic area, demonstrating our commitment to Greater Manchester and its community. We look forward to welcoming local residents through our doors and serving our multi-award winning products. We would like to thank everyone who has played a part in delivering these new stores and we now look forward to continuing our expansion plans within this central hub.”

Lidl is encouraging people to continue to wear face coverings in its stores and will have cleaning stations at entrances, hand sanitiser and protective screens at checkouts.
