Lidl set to roll out bakeries to all stores

Lidl shoppers could soon be snapping up bargains amid the heady aroma of freshly baked bread.

The German discounter is poised to begin rolling out in-store bakeries across all of its 580 UK stores after successful trials in Newcastle. A spokeswoman said the in-store bakery “had gone really well” but could not reveal exactly when the rollout would begin.

However, a store manager on Lidl’s new Facebook page said “all stores will have bakeries very soon” in response to a customer asking why Lidl stores in Ireland had the bakeries but UK stores didn’t.
