The fully glass-fronted façade maximises natural daylight entering the building, while sensor-controlled exterior sun blinds automatically operate to mitigate the effects of unwanted heat.

Lidl UK’s regional head of property, David Murphy, said: “We would like to thank all those who have played a part in bringing this new Lidl store to Killingworth. It is great for us to be able to create more jobs and investment opportunities in the area, and we can’t wait to start serving our multi-award winning products to the local community.”

Lidl, crowned Best Supermarket 2016 by readers of Good Housekeeping, has experienced continued growth over the years. More than 5.5million Brits shop at Lidl every week.
