Lidl
TWO new large-scale Lidl supermarkets have won planning approval.
The stores will be built on Carlisle Road, Airdrie and Mossbell Road, Bellshill after permission was granted by planning officers at North Lanarkshire Council.
The Airdrie site also allows for a drive thru, which would be used by another operator, and further future retail, which will also provide more job opportunities once trading, the discounter said.
The current owner Distell International Ltd will relocate its operations to a newly developed facility in East Kilbride.
The firm said the new stores will create up to 80 new jobs for the local economy once opened and "represent Lidl’s continued commitment across Scotland".
