Just a Lidl bit Longer

This month will see the new Lidl stores open their doors, and hopefully offer us all a new choice when it comes to supermarket shopping. The supermarket chain has grown considerably well across the UK, offering no frills products at great prices. The likes of Iceland and Mercadona will be against some strong competition if they get it right. I'm holding my breath though, well at least until the doors are open and products with prices on the shelves. Too many times have I waited in anticipation for newbies to arrive here, and then got let down. There must be a Tenerife triangle they pass through which ridiculously hikes the prices. Lets hope Lidl Tenerife get it right, and stick the right price on the right tin!
The new Lidl Tenerife stores are to be based in Las Chafiras, and Adeje, with more to follow across the Canaries. Local supermarket chains such as Mercadona and Hyperdino were furious when the chain finally got a foot hold. This being due to the creation of employment in the struggling economy. Its about time they had some strong competition, I have seen the prices steadily increase in the local supermarkets, so a new no frills brand will suit me fine.
The opening date is set for the 6th of February, but this is Tenerife, and it may take a Lidl bit Longer!
