Dublin Ladies Gaelic Footballer Hannah Tyrell was the guest of honour to cut the ribbon and officially open Lidl Ireland’s brand-new store at Kilcarbery, Old Nangor Road in Clondalkin, this Halloween morning.
Crowds gathered early to be amongst the first shoppers across the door to enjoy opening day entertainment and exclusive in-store offers.
The opening of Lidl’s Kilcarbery store represents a major investment for Lidl, both in the local community and in its wider retail estate portfolio which now comprises a network of 53 stores in Dublin alone and 181 stores nationwide.
Bringing the first major retail offering to the area, Lidl’s new store in Kilcarbery boasts a large sales floor, offering customers a premium shopping experience, with wide aisles, two Deposit Return Scheme machines, long tills, customer restrooms and baby-changing facilities as well as an in-store bakery and off licence.
Externally, the store benefits from regenerative landscaping and a spacious customer car park with dedicated EV charging spaces.
The first ten shoppers through the doors received complimentary vouchers to shop Lidl’s renowned range of high-quality products at market-leading value, and huge savings on middle aisle favourites.
To mark the opening, the store team in Kilcarbery welcomed Paul Thompson, Programme Coordinator from local charity Archways to accept a donation of €1,000 in Lidl vouchers.
Established in 2007, Archways supports young people, families, and communities experiencing behavioural, social, and emotional issues throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Speaking at the opening of the store, Lidl Kilcarbery Store Manager Andrei Romanschi said:
“It was a proud morning as we opened the doors of our brand new, state-of-the-art store here in Kilcarbery with a warm welcome from the local community.
“Delivering the first major retail offering to the thriving community of Kilcarbery, this store was highly anticipated, and we’re delighted that local shoppers can now benefit from quality products at market-leading prices, enjoying an unrivalled shopping experience with Ireland’s best value supermarket.”
“As proud supporters of Ladies Gaelic Football since 2016, we’d like to thank Dublin’s Hannah Tyrell for joining us in the celebrations this morning and officially cutting the ribbon on our new store.”
Dublin Ladies Gaelic Footballer Hannah Tyrell added:
“The atmosphere here at the opening of Lidl Kilcarbery was brilliant.
“It’s great to see so many local shoppers enjoying the new store, snapping up the middle aisle offers and grabbing some last-minute treats for Halloween night.
“Lidl has always been a great supporter of its communities through its partnership with LGFA and as a Clondalkin local, it was an honour to officially cut the ribbon on the new store in Kilcarbery.
“The store looks fantastic! I’d encourage everyone to come down and check it out!”
