Stores in Scotland will be open as normal, however the German grocer is advising all customers to check onlines for their local store opening hours.

The retailer is anticipating that today (Friday 24 May) and Saturday 25 May will be the busiest days, as shoppers stock up for the long weekend.

It comes as more customers are choosing to shop at Lidl than ever before, as the grocer reached a market share high of 8.1% and has been the fastest growing bricks and mortar supermarket for nine months in a row, according to Kantar.

Ahead of the bank holiday weekend, the supermarket revamped its loyalty scheme with new Lidl Plus Offers which provide loyalty scheme members with weekly discounts alongside the existing ‘Lidl Plus For You’ Coupons.

Some savings available this weekend include 10 x 250ml cans of Pimm’s and lemonade down £2 to £10.99, 12 x 330ml cans of Cobra Lager down £2 to £8.99, as well as Birchwood XXL sausages and Birchwood chicken chipolatas sausages both down 30p to £2.35 and £2.19, respectively.
