Impulse Buys

Okay so they got me. I am normally not one for impulse buys, being a little "careful" with my money but I fell for this one.

Went into Lidl and saw them. For some reason I just couldn't resist. No idea why. They were an absolute bargain though. Perhaps that was the only reason? Who knows.

Just how long is it going to take me to eat twelve dozen Weetabix, that is 144 for the uninitiated. Think I will probably look like a Weetabix by the time I have finished.

Superb New Lidl Store In Skegness Now Open

The long awaited opening of the new Lidl Store took place this morning 17th December 2015.

The new store looks absolutely fantastic. It is the second store in the country to be opened under the "store for the future" banner and it has not disappointed. It is bright, open, spacious and very modern.

By the look of the crowds that have flocked to it today it is going to be a roaring success and I am sure that the free bacon baps being doled out were not all that the customers were there for. Doubt that will be a regular feature of the store! There were long queues getting into the car park at 11.30 am and the store itself was extremely busy. The tills seemed to be coping very well with the amount of customers.

My only slight concern is the reduced number of car parking spaces being provided in relation to those available previously. Hopefully they have done their calculations correctly and there will be a sufficient number on a normal day!

All in all I think this will be the expected boon to the shoppers of Skegness and the surrounding area.

Skegness Lidl - Reopening Date Confirmed

I have contacted Lidl with a query as to when the new store in Skegness is to open. Their reply was 17th December 2015. This is slippage of a week from their original estimate of the 10th December but, given the close proximity to the latest opening date, I would expect no further delay.

Excellent news. From the statistics provided for this blog I know just how much interest there has been in the refurbishment of Lidl, Richmond Drive, Skegness. Like me, it would appear that many, many people have been missing shopping there. 

Well it won't be long now folks!

Skegness Lidl Reopening Date

I have been amazed by the amount of interest that there has been in my article from earlier in the year entitled Skegness Lidl Closing For Refurbishment which has become the third most viewed article on my blog.

The article can be viewed here:

The interest prompted me to contact Lidl to enquire as to how the new store is coming along and when it will be reopening. The answer I have been given is that the store will reopen for business in the brand new and much enlarged store on 10th December this year. There was a caveat to this statement which was that this information is correct at the time of sending and could be subject to change.

I for one will be very pleased to see the store back in business. If I get any other information I will post it on here.

Regards.

Skegness LIDL Closing For Refurbishment

LIDL will be missing from our town for 6 or 7 months. An excellent store from a company that has gone from strength to strength over the last few years. Look forward to it reopening with a bigger store and greater range of products. Really going to miss the Bratwurst though.

Please see the following for news of the reopening date: http://steveodare.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/skegness-lidl-reopening-date.html
