Take a look inside Whitby's revamped Lidl store which reopened today after 11-week closure

Whitby’s Lidl store finally reopened this morning (Nov 17) after an 11-week closure for the store to be expanded and modernised.

The reopening was carried out at 8am by Whitby Mayor, Cllr Linda Wild, who said: “It looked really good, much bigger and all the shelves were packed to capacity.

"It looked a different store and it is now more spacious.”

The store, on Whitby’s Stakesby Road, now has a larger sales area to provide a bigger in-store bakery, as well as a customer toilet with baby changing facilities.

Lidl GB’s Regional Head of Property, David Murphy, said: “We are delighted to be able to open the store once again to residents.”

Lidl is open 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
