Lidl confirmed on Thursday the launch date for its new Edinburgh store, and to celebrate a range of products will be available at bargain prices.
On April 7, the budget retailer will be opening up a brand new supermarket in Straiton Retail Park — an ideal location for commuters who live outside of the city.
Customers who visit the new store during its opening weekend will be able to purchase various outdoor, home and kitchen products for a special low price while stocks last.

Offers include a party table with ice bucket (£24.99 down from £49.99) and outdoor oven (£89 down from £129.99), both available on opening day, with smart TVs (£99 down from £159 each), professional ice cream makers (£29.99 down from £59.99 each) and grill towers (£29.99 down from £59.99 each) available on either Friday or Saturday.
The new supermarket has created approximately 40 new jobs, and will be open from 8am to 10pm Monday to Sunday.
It will include a 1,227m² sales area, an in-store bakery and customer toilets with changing facilities.
Opening in a new unit, formed of the former M&S and Boots sites, which have relocated to the Upper Terrace, Lidl’s Straiton store on the Lower Terrace marks the third in the Midlothian area and is part of the retailer’s ongoing commitment to investing in Scotland.
The announcement comes a few months after the opening of the Dalkeith store, which has been serving Midlothian communities for the past two decades and is currently Lidl’s largest store in Scotland.
Lidl GB’s Regional Head of Property Gordon Rafferty commented: “We are delighted to announce the opening of the new Lidl store at Straiton Retail Park.
"It’s fantastic to continue offering a great shopping experience in the Midlothian area and we look forward to welcoming customers to the new store.”
