Lidl’s Cwmbran store on Woodside Road will close on Wednesday 5 February and reopen in its new larger location on St David’s Road the next day (Thursday 6 February).

The current site has been open for 30 years. The new store has a 1,516m² sales area, over 40% larger than its predecessor. It will be open from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.

Free food tasters

To celebrate the launch, customers can enjoy Lidl Plus offers and complimentary food sampling throughout the opening weekend.

New and enhanced amenities include customer toilets with baby-changing facilities, a larger car park with electric vehicle charging points, solar panels to power the store, a sustainable drainage system, and a feature green wall, increasing biodiversity.

The multi-million-pound investment will also see 10 new jobs created in addition to the current staff moving to the new store.

George Ledward, regional head of property at Lidl GB, said: “We’re delighted to announce the opening of our new relocated store in Cwmbran. Our Woodside Road location has been a cornerstone of the community for three decades, and we’re thrilled to now offer residents an even better shopping experience at our new St David’s Road store. We can’t wait to welcome both new and returning customers through the doors, and we’re confident they’ll love everything their new Lidl has to offer.”
