Lidl Ireland opened the doors to its brand new store in Cavan today.
Located on Ballinagh Road, in Cavan town, a brand new store has been built to replace the original store that served the community for more than 25 years.
This represents a significant milestone in the retailer’s investment in Cavan and creates 16 new permanent jobs.
Cavan County LGFA Captain, Shauna Lynch officially cut the ribbon this morning and greeted shoppers as they enjoyed the opening day festivities.
To mark the opening as part of its commitment to the local community, the Lidl Cavan store team selected local charity SOSAD (Cavan branch), to receive a generous donation of €1,000 in Lidl vouchers.
The charity supports individuals and families in the local Cavan area in managing their mental health and overcoming life’s challenges.
The new upgraded store in Cavan reflects Lidl’s established ‘concept’ design and features a spacious sales floor, offering a premier shopping experience for customers including self-service checkouts, long tills, and the popular in-store bakery offering fresh baked goods daily.
Sustainability is a key focus for the Cavan store as the retail unit incorporates an ISO 50001-certified energy management system.
This includes high performing energy efficient technologies, the installation of solar panels (PV panels), LED lighting with automatic lighting control, and heat recovery systems. Within the 120-space car park, the provision of a number of bike spaces and electric vehicle (EV) charging points further supports sustainable transport options for customers and store teams.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Cavan-Monaghan TD, Brendan Smith said this is a major investment by Lidl in Cavan Town:
