New Peterborough Lidl opens doors for the first time

The store, located on Oundle Road on the site of the former British Sugar Offices in Woodston, opened at 8am today.

The new store will be open from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.

As part of the company’s ongoing expansion and regeneration plans across Great Britain, the new store has created around 40 new roles for the area and will feature facilities including a 1,325m² sales area, a bakery, ample parking for both cars and bicycles, electrical vehicle charging points and customer toilets.

Lidl GB’s Regional Head of Property, Andrew Hodgkinson, commented: “We would like to thank all those who have played a part in bringing our new store to Peterborough. It is great for us to be able to create more jobs in the area, and we are proud to serve the local community at this time.”

The store will be donating surplus food to a range of charities in the city.
