A BARGAIN supermarket with 950 branches is closing yet another store for good.<\/p>\n
Lidl has confirmed it will be closing its shop on Kelburn Street in Barrhead, Glasgow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The retailer will pull down the shutters on the branch in six days' time on September 28. <\/p>\n
The closure of the current store will create a "seamless" transition for customers while it will keep all current staff members.<\/p>\n
However, all is not lost as Lidl has plans to open another store nearby on the same day (September 28) as the one above closes. <\/p>\n
The latest branch will be open from 8am until 10pm from Monday to Saturday and 8am to 9pm on Sundays.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Scottish Sun also reported that a number of other big brands have secured units at the\u00a0new retail\u00a0park.<\/p>\n
Baynes,\u00a0B&M,\u00a0Burger King, Card Factory, Indigo Sun, Osprey Charging Network,\u00a0Starbucks\u00a0and The Salvation Army have confirmed that they will be opening.<\/p>\n
Lidl, which has 950 sites,\u00a0closed and relocated a few shops\u00a0earlier this spring.<\/p>\n
Its store on Drayton Road, Mile Cross, shut on April 30, and its shop on Sturry Road,\u00a0Canterbury, closed on May 28.<\/p>\n
