Lidl has opened two new stores in the Central region, in Anadia and Porto de Mós, with a total investment of €14.6 million. The expansion of the network reflects the brand's ongoing commitment to modernising its infrastructure and creating more efficient, comfortable and sustainable spaces.
The Anadia store, located on Rua das Flores, next to the IC2 roundabout, replaces the old store opened in 2000, increasing the sales area by more than 500 sqm to a total of 1,580 sqm. The new Porto de Mós store, located on Estrada da Calvaria, in Calvaria de Cima, replaces the Batalha store, which has been in operation since 2009, and has a sales area of 1,585 sqm (700 sqm more than the previous space).
The new spaces adopt a more modern, functional and sustainable concept, with glass façades, natural light, LED lighting and wide aisles that ensure fluid circulation. The fresh and refrigerated vegetable section is located right at the entrance, followed by a completely remodelled bakery area. The stores also have self-checkout tills, around 100 shaded parking spaces, lockers and a self-service laundry service.
Another focus is on electric mobility, with fast charging stations that allow vehicles to be charged in around 30 minutes. The new stores have been designed to high standards of energy efficiency and comfort, incorporating solar panels, LED lighting and sustainable mobility solutions.
The surrounding area of both stores has also undergone urban redevelopment, including the refurbishment of pavements, public transport shelters and road markings.
