Kevin Duffy of Lidl Ireland said: “Lidl is excited with the prospect of being part of the Lusk Village Quarter scheme. Lusk is a bustling, thriving town which we believe holds enormous potential and, in our opinion, does not currently have adequate retail provision to meet the town’s growing needs. It would be our intention to build a new environmentally friendly, state -of -the-art store which would service Lusk, and the wider area, with the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices. Lidl currently operates 200 stores on the island of Ireland and employs over 5,200 people. We look forward to working with all parties on this exciting scheme over the coming months. Subject to positive planning permission being granted we could be serving customers in Lusk by Christmas 2020!”
