Work begins to build new Harrogate Lidl
Workers have this week begun to demolish the old Lookers car dealership on Knaresborough Road, Harrogate, to make way for a new Lidl supermarket.
Councillors granted planning permission to the German chain in August to build the supermarket, and six months later work is finally underway.
It's the first Lidl to open in Harrogate, although there is already one in Knaresborough.
The multi-million-pound proposal includes a 1,263 square metre sales area, an in-store bakery, customer toilets and 94 parking spaces.
The new store will be open from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
A public consultation for the store revealed 87% of more than 1,000 responses supported it.
The Stray Ferret asked Lidl for an expected opening date but we did not receive a response at the time of publication.
