LIDL has confirmed that the official opening of its brand-new “state-of-the-art” store on the A39 in Wells will be next week.
Lidl has today (January 21) confirmed the opening of its brand-new store on Strawberry Way in Wells, which will start to welcome customers through the doors on Thursday, January 30.
Photographer, Paul Clegg, who lives in Wells, has showcased the new look of the Wells Lidl Superstore with the help of drone footage.
The “state-of-the-art” Lidl has been constructed on the same site as the discounter’s original store, which proudly served the local community for almost three decades.

Incorporating a 1,512m² sales area, the new store is nearly twice the size of its predecessor.
The store has an expanded bakery and chiller section, whilst retaining Lidl’s “popular” Middle Aisle and best value products.
Enhanced facilities include a customer toilet with baby changing amenities and a “significantly larger” customer car park, offering more parent and child and disabled parking spaces, as well as electric vehicle rapid charging points.
This multi-million-pound investment also benefits the community by creating 20 new roles, in addition to welcoming back existing colleagues.
Glen Stidever, regional head of property at Lidl GB, said: “We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our new and improved store here in Wells. Not only is this store almost double the size, but it also remains in a prominent and accessible location within the town, ensuring residents still have convenient access to our affordable offering.
“We’d like to thank everyone for their patience during the construction process - we can’t wait to welcome our customers back and we’re confident they’ll love the upgrades as much as we do.”
The store will still open between 8am–9pm Monday to Saturday and 10am–4pm on Sundays.
