Supermarket giant Lidl has opened its largest store in Northern Ireland following the completion of a £9m relocation project.

The store moved to a larger site within Riverside Retail Park in Coleraine, County L'Derry, and spans 2,514 square metres.

Comprising the largest solar power network of any Lidl store in Ireland, the new Coleraine store has achieved an EPC A+ Energy Rating, which is the highest possible rating for energy efficiency, certifying it as the most energy efficient Lidl supermarket in Northern Ireland. The store is also Lidl's most energy efficient store in its network of 225 stores across the island of Ireland.

Built with sustainability at its core, including two electrical charging points for customers, the building substantiates Lidl's commitment to reducing energy consumption and lowering carbon footprint across its business and underscores its commitment to developing sustainably.

The expanded store has created 8 new jobs for the local community, bringing the total team employed at Lidl's Coleraine store to 30.

Commenting on the retailer's first store opening of 2025, Ivan Ryan, Regional Managing Director for Lidl Northern Ireland, said: "Sustainability and energy efficiency have been carefully considered throughout every phase of this store’s development, and we are proud to say that it is not only the largest Lidl store in Northern Ireland, but also one of the most sustainable in our network."

Lidl Northern Ireland also celebrated the new store opening by donating £1,000 in store vouchers to two local charities, the Zachary Geddis Break the Silence Trust and Coleraine Men's Group.
