A SUPERMARKET chain is set to build a store in the centre of Ashton-in-Makerfield as part of its ongoing expansion ambitions.
Lidl plans to open the new store located on Princess Road as part of a multi-million-pound investment.
The company says the supermarket will feature facilities including an in-store bakery, customer toilets and ample parking for both cars and bicycles.
Lidl GB’s regional head of property, Nick Harvey commented: “We are thrilled to confirm plans to bring a new store to Ashton-in-Makerfield, marking another milestone in our ambitious store expansion programme.
“We are firmly committed to helping boost the local economy by creating new jobs and working with local suppliers in the construction of the new store.
"The team are very much looking forward to confirming a date for our public consultation day when we will outline our plans and get input from those who will directly benefit from the new store.”
