Lidl Ireland has confirmed that it will open the doors of its brand-new store in Moycullen, Galway, on Thursday 27 February at 8am.
Located in the Gaeltacht region of Galway, the county’s tenth Lidl store – which will create 25 permanent retail jobs for the local community – will feature signage in the Irish language throughout.
Galway Ladies’ Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) player Ailbhe Davoren and team captain Kate Geraghty will join the store team on the morning to cut the ribbon and officially open the store.
Along with opening-day entertainment and middle-aisle offers, the first shoppers in the queue will also receive complimentary Lidl vouchers to spend in store.
The retailer will also donate €1,000 towards the development of a new community centre in Moycullen.
The Store
Lidl’s new store offers customers a premium shopping experience, with wide aisles, self-service checkouts, two Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) machines, and long tills, as well as an in-store bakery and off-licence.
Externally, there is regenerative landscaping, in addition to a spacious car park with EV-charging spaces.
Sustainability is at the core of the new development, and the Moycullen store has an ISO 50001-certified energy management system, high-performing energy-efficient technologies, dedicated EV-charging spaces, and solar panels.
The opening of Galway’s tenth Lidl store marks a major investment for the retailer, both in the local community and in its wider property portfolio.
Lidl also has stores in Clifden, Oranmore, Doughiska, Tuam, Knocknacarra, Wellpark Road, Gort, Ballinasloe, and Headford Road.
Earlier this month, Lidl opened another store – in Enfield, Co. Meath – and today it is opening its newest premises in Ballysimon, Co. Limerick.
‘Vibrant Community’
Speaking ahead of the store opening, the regional property director for Lidl Ireland, James Purcell, said, “We are thrilled to announce the official opening of our Moycullen store on Thursday 27 February.
“Moycullen is a vibrant community, and we are proud to introduce Lidl’s offering to the area.
“Local shoppers can now enjoy high-quality products at unbeatable prices, and we look forward to welcoming them to experience Ireland’s best-value supermarket.
“This year, Lidl celebrates its 25th anniversary in Ireland – it’s a great way to begin our celebrations in Galway, launching our tenth and newest store in the county.”
Footballers Geraghty and Davoren added, “We are really looking forward to opening Lidl’s new store in Moycullen and meeting all the shoppers on opening day.
“Lidl has been a fantastic partner to [the] LGFA for years, and it’s fantastic to see them investing even more in our community.
“This new store is a huge boost for the area, and we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on 27 February.”
