Lidl Ireland has started construction work on a brand new modern ‘concept’ supermarket in Enfield, Co. Meath.
Planning permission for the new store was approved in March 2024 and will see the retailer expand its network in Meath to seven stores once it opens in early 2025.
Lidl’s new state-of-the-art supermarket will be located at Dublin Road in Enfield, Co. Meath and will see a significant investment in the local area.
The new supermarket will create up to 30 new jobs with the retailer, adding to its 6,000 strong workforce throughout Ireland.
Construction of the store will support up to 80 jobs throughout the development phase which got underway this week as contractors Glebe Builders broke ground to develop the 1,400 square metre sales floor area retail unit.
Lidl opened its first Meath store in Trim in 2004, and since then the retailer has become a pillar of the Meath community and currently employs more than 140 people in the county across its six stores in Ashbourne, Bettystown, Clonee, Trim, Dunshaughlin and Navan.
The new store in Enfield will bring more job opportunities to the area while offering locals great value products.
Sustainability is at the fore of the Enfield store, with Lidl’s pioneering ‘concept’ design incorporating an ISO 50001-certified energy management system, high-performing energy efficient technologies and the installation of solar panels and electric vehicle (EV) charging points.
‘A Major Investment’
Turning the sod today at the new site, the regional property director for Lidl Ireland Brian Smyth said, “We have had an ambition to bring market leading value to Enfield for a long time.
“Meath is hugely important to Lidl, as we have traded proudly here since 2004 with the opening of our Trim store.
“The development of our new store in Enfield represents a major investment for Lidl, contributing significantly to the local economy and providing long-term employment for the area as we expand our store network in Meath to seven stores.
“With construction now underway with our construction partners Glebe Builders, the local community can look forward to an unrivalled retail experience, shopping high quality products with Ireland’s best value retailer when we open our doors in early 2025.”
