Lidl To Create Almost 400 Supermarket & Warehouse Jobs In Scotland

The German discount supermarket chain Lidl has announced expansion plans which will create almost 400 new full and part time jobs in Scotland.

Lidl plans to open five new stores in Scotland, update existing supermarkets and open a new warehouse facility, creating hundreds of jobs north of the border.

The new Lidl warehouse in Lanarkshire will create an initial 100 jobs when it is completed next year, with an extra 250 vacancies to follow further down the line when the distribution hub reaches capacity.

The five new Lidl stores will be opened in Dumbarton, East Kilbride, Edinburgh, Giffnock and Paisley, with an average of eight new jobs at each supermarket, creating a further 40 Scottish vacancies in total.

Existing Lidl stores which are set to benefit from upgrades include supermarkets in Aberdeen, Ayr, Glasgow and Motherwell.

Commenting on the chain’s expanding workforce, Lidl UK’s Regional Director for Scotland, Ross Millar, said: “We at Lidl are incredibly proud to be part of a business that is able to positively impact so many of our customers’ lives, through the availability and accessibility of quality fresh products, at market-leading value.”

“This is only made possible through the hard work and dedication of our existing 2,200 workforce, and we’re therefore delighted to be in a position to create new jobs and welcome even more colleagues into the Lidl family.”

“We strongly believe in investing in our people, which is why we offer market-leading pay, great benefits and extensive development and training opportunities, and urge anyone interested in working with us, to keep an eye out for jobs on our careers site,” added Mr Millar.
