Lidl reveals more details on new supermarket including opening date

Residents in north Bristol don't have long to wait until Lidl opens its doors.

The latest store in the city belonging to the German supermarket chain will be located on land south of Concorde Roundabout on Hayes Way, Patchway.

South Gloucestershire Council granted planning permission for the new shop in January this year after more than 850 residents signed an online petition supporting the development.

They said the store would help Charlton Hayes feel more like a community, drive down food prices and bring jobs to the area.

The new store is located adjacent to the Aerospace Museum and just a stone’s throw from the Travelodge, Subway and Costa Coffee Drive Thru on Hayes Way next to the A38.

The store will provide 158 car parking spaces, including eight dedicated disabled spaces and 11 parent and child spaces. Secure cycle storage will also be provided and access to the site will be via the Concorde roundabout.

And if all goes to plan, the supermarket will be open before 2021.

A Lidl spokesperson said: "Our store in Patchway is due to open before the end of the year.

"The store will include a 1,325sqm sales and create approx 40 new full and part time jobs.

"The supermarket will also include an in store bakery, customer toilet, baby changing facilities and 158 car parking spaces."

It is proposed the Lidl store will be open between the hours of 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday (including Bank Holidays) and 10am to 4pm or 11am to 5pm on Sundays.

According to Lidl an area of the site is being reserved to be marketed for future office use to encourage additional employment opportunities in the Patchway area.
