Lidl Opens New £8m Strabane Store

Lidl Northern Ireland has officially opened its new £8 million future-focused flagship Strabane store.

The store occupies a site size of 2,100 square metres which includes a retail sales floor of 1,420 square metres. This new store prioritises sustainability and energy efficiency with a range of environmentally friendly features including an ISO 50001-certified Energy Management System, solar panels and two EV car charging stations in its 130-space car park.

Reinforcing Lidl Northern Ireland’s position as a leader in sustainable construction, the new Strabane store will be the first retail outlet in the region to utilise a version of Kingspan insulated roof panels which are lower in embodied carbon, as part of its commitment to exceeding the RIBA 2025 embodied carbon targets
