A MAJOR supermarket is to disappear from a busy high street next week and shoppers say they are "beyond devastated".<\/p>\n

Lidl, which as more than 960 branches across the country, is shutting its store in Beckenham High Street to the surprise of fans.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The branch will close on Wednesday, November 15 at 6pm, according to a sign in its window.<\/p>\n

It reads: "We're closing on November 16 at 6pm, but you'll love your Bromley North, Bromley Town Centre and West Wickham stores."<\/p>\n

The Sun has contacted Lidl for comment, but a spokesperson previously said that the retailer was having "active discussions" about relocating the store.<\/p>\n

Shoppers have been left stunned by the decision, with many taking to social media to share their opinions.<\/p>\n

A third added: "I am very disappointed".<\/p>\n

While a fourth fumed: "I'm very upset. This is my favourite store."<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Lidl closed its stores in Drayton Road, Mile Close and Sturry Road, Canterbury.<\/p>\n

The supermarket brought down the shutters due to the poor condition of the buildings and bosses deeming them unfit for purpose.<\/p>\n

It also closed its store in\u00a0Redditch\u00a0town centre this summer after opening a replacement store on Battens Drive in June 2022.<\/p>\n

But it's not all bad news for Lidl shoppers, as the discounter announced that it is looking to open hundreds of new locations across the UK as part of a huge expansion. <\/p>\n

The potential locations would be for high street, standalone, mixed use, or\u00a0shopping\u00a0centre stores.<\/p>\n

The full list, of which there are 1,168 locations, includes sites across all areas of Great Britain – including: 66 in\u00a0Scotland, 83 in\u00a0Yorkshire, 83 in central\u00a0England, 91 in south\u00a0London\u00a0and 42 in south-mid\u00a0Wales.<\/p>\n

It's important to note that the locations listed represent only potential sites.<\/p>\n

Lidl says only a small number will eventually be developed and opened as stores.<\/p>\n
