The long-awaited Lidl supermarket on Mill Lane, Alton, has finally opened its doors to the public.
The new Lidl opened it doors at 8am on Thursday, February 22.
The deputy mayor of Alton, Cllr Annette Eyre, and pupils from Anstey Junior School were granted a tour behind the scenes before they marked the opening of the new store.
After shelves were fully stocked and pastries baked overnight, customers were met at the door with complimentary flowers, bakery items and a chance to win prizes from a spin wheel.
As well as being offered exclusive deals such as a Silvercrest’s espresso machine for £39.99, its crêpe maker for £12.99 and its three-in-one sandwich toaster for £9.99.
Cllr Eyre said “I’m so happy Lidl is open, it is lovely for the community. They (Lidl) will do a community program. It’s exciting to see all the fresh produce that is local or from this country.”
