Lidl is giving away free £5 vouchers and free baked goods and discounts to thousands of customers - but you'll need to be quick. The supermarket chain is offering shoppers the perks through its Lidl Plus app as part of Random Acts of Kindness Day on February 17. Some of the freebies being given out today include croissants and cheese twists, with some shoppers set to get £5 off their next shop. Overall, 500,00 shoppers will be randomly selected today, and you can check if you've won a freebie on the Lidl Plus app. If you've been selected, you won't have long to claim your treat as you only have until Friday, February 28 to cash it in.
Earlier this month, the discount supermarket chain announced that it will open four brand new stores in February. These new stores are in Canning Town, Preston, Walsall, and Wombourne. In addition, Lidl is also opening five upgraded stores in Blantyre, Cwmbran, Oldbrook, Wells, and West Ealing. The upgraded stores have bigger sales areas and modern amenities, which provide more space for shoppers and a much wider selection of products.
The latest store openings follow the supermarket's ambitious move in December, when it opened ten new stores in the run-up to Christmas. The new stores are part of Lidl's plan to have 1,100 UK stores by the end of 2025. Currently, the supermarket chain has over 970 stores in the UK. Richard Taylor, Chief Development Officer at Lidl GB, said: “As we begin the new year, we’re maintaining our momentum and opening nine state-of-the-art stores, delivering bigger and better shopping experiences to new communities and those we’ve proudly served for an average of 26 years.
"After a record-breaking Christmas, where millions of households turned to Lidl, these openings reflect the growing demand for our unbeatable value and quality. This is just the start – we’ve got more openings in the pipeline this year alone and can’t wait to welcome even more customers, both loyal and new, through our doors in the weeks ahead.”.
