New, revamped Lidl store to open and create 14 new jobs in Kilkenny

A state-of-the-art Lidl Ireland store will reopen in Kilkenny at the Waterford Road location on Thursday, February 23 at 8am, with 14 extra jobs created, bringing the Kilkenny team to 39 employees. 

LGFA Kilkenny captain Kelley Comerford, alongside former Kilkenny hurler and multiple All-Ireland winner Eoin Larkin, will be on hand with the Lidl store team to officially open the store on the morning.

The new store will have a spacious layout featuring high ceilings and wide aisles. It will provide increased natural light for customers and staff alike with glass fronted glazing, LED lighting and an energy efficient system provided by 100% green energy. The store grounds will provide ample customer car parking with EV charger points.

As part of the opening on Thursday, Lidl Kilkenny will provide a number of complimentary vouchers to the first customers through the door on the morning, alongside offering savings on middle aisle favourites including a 50’ 4K Ultra HD Smart TV, espresso machines, stand mixers, food processers and much, much more.

“We are really excited to open our new store in Kilkenny. Our team have been working really hard behind the scenes to get the store up and running, so customers can shop our great range of quality and affordably priced products. We’re very excited to welcome customers to experience the brand-new store," said Kilkenny Lidl store manager Darren Bourke.

To mark the opening, the store team at Lidl Kilkenny will donate €500 in Lidl vouchers to St Vincent DePaul and €500 in Lidl vouchers to Enable Ireland.

Through Lidl’s commitment to A Better Tomorrow programme, a Lidl store brings better value shopping to an area, fundraising for Ladies Gaelic Football clubs and schools in the area, additional charity groups supported with FoodCloud donations and more funding for youth mental health through Lidl Ireland’s charity partner Jigsaw – The National Centre for Youth Metal Health.

From Thursday, February 23, Lidl’s Kilkenny store will open daily from Monday – Saturday 8am – 10pm, and Sunday 9am – 9pm.
