THE first phase of a new retail park in Shipley featuring a Lidl supermarket and a drive-thru Costa Coffee is set to open this summer. Builders are on-site at the Airedale Mills on Salts Mill Road, where Shipley meets Baildon for the development, known as Shipley Wharf Retail Park. Work will start on fitting out the Lidl store at the site this summer, ahead of an opening before Christmas, the supermarket giant confirmed. Meanwhile, a drive-thru Costa Coffee will open on the site in late summer. The supermarket will also create 40 full and part-time jobs in the town.
