Discount chain makes ‘Lidl’ bid to build coffee kiosks

Lidl has a number of stores across Limerick

Discount retailer Lidl Ireland is seeking planning permission to build coffee shops beside two of its stores in Limerick.

The firm has announced its intention to seek the go-ahead from Limerick City and County Council to develop the units at its outlets in Childers Road, near Ballinacurra, and Dublin Road in Castletroy.

According to a planning notice published in Limerick Leader newspaper, the “free-standing cafe kiosks” will serve take-away food and non-alcoholic beverages.
