Lidl issues update on new Limerick store
Reporter: );
PLANNERS have cleared the way for Lidl to open a new store in the city.
The discount German retailer has received conditional permission from Limerick City and County Council to open a new multi-million euro store at the Dock Road, on the site of the former National Rusk Factory.
In a move which will create 30 full time jobs, the company says it will proceed with the development as soon as possible, if no appeal is made to An Bord Pleanala from two parties who lodged observations.
And in a statement confirming the grant of planning, Lidl added should no appeal be made, its planning to invest further in its portfolio here, with the aim of having five new stores by the end of next year locally.
