Located within our £218m South Oxhey Central town centre development of 659 new homes and retail spaces, set across two acres of landscaped public spaces, the new, modern store has created around 40 new jobs for the local community and, following the discounters recent wage increase, new starters joining the team will be paid the highest rate of any UK supermarket. The new supermarket features Lidl’s famous in-store bakery, customer toilets with baby changing facilities and ample parking for cars and bicycles.
