West Yorkshire’s first ‘Lidl of the Future’ opens its doors

Knottingley-based contractor Caddick Construction was asked to deliver the brand new store concept by Lidl UK last year, beginning work on the 26,586 sq ft project in April 2016.

The construction programme included the demolition of the existing Lidl store and construction of the new store including internal fit out. Caddick Construction also completed external works including the car park.

The new ‘Lidl of the Future’ boasts a fully glazed frontage, a flush external façade and exposed internal roof. The store has wider aisles, longer tills and new restroom and baby changing facilities to provide the best possible shopping experience for customers.

The store utilises the latest energy efficient technologies, reducing its environmental impact. The building reduces the CO2 emission rate by over 20% when compared with a building of the same type, size and use; that’s circa 40 tons of CO2  a year, which is equivalent to nine households, taking eight cars off the road for a year or flying a jumbo jet for over 700 miles.
