Lidl Cornmarket Street store following major refurb finally opened
Improved new Lidl Cornmarket Street store operating again for its customers
Print21 March 2025
Lidl Ireland has recently opened the doors to its improved new Cornmarket Street store located in Cork following a ten-week closure to facilitate major refurbishment works.
Shoppers can now enjoy a spacious and modernised store experience thanks to feature walls and high ceilings, wider aisles, two Deposit Return Scheme machines, as well as larger in-store bakery and off licence, the retailer noted.
“As Lidl celebrates 25 years in Ireland this year, it’s fitting that we’re continuing to invest in our Cork store network and upgrade older stores that have served local communities so well,” Tara O’Connor, managing director for Munster at Lidl Ireland, said.
Cutting the ribbon
Cutting the ribbon on the revamped store this morning was one of Ireland’s most decorated athletes, All-star and former Cork ladies’ Gaelic football and camogie champion Rena Buckley, who joined the store team to welcome customers and kick off reopening day celebrations.
“It’s amazing to see how the space has been remodeled to incorporate new features and provide a better layout for shoppers in what is a busy city centre location,” the Cork sporting legend, Buckley, said.
She added: “There was a super turnout this morning and I’m sure shoppers will agree the change that the store has undergone in just a couple of months has been fantastic.”
Complimentary Lidl vouchers
The lucky early bird customers first in line to experience the improved store were rewarded with complimentary Lidl vouchers to spend in-store.
In 2024, Lidl procured over €128 million worth of goods and services from over 120 suppliers and business partners across Cork, serving its 22 stores within the county which employ almost 670 team members.
Lidl’s Cornmarket store will open daily: Monday – Saturday 7.30am – 10pm, and Sunday 9am – 9pm.
