The commitment to the Canary Islands
With the opening of this new store in Tacoronte and the one inaugurated last week in Telde, Lidl continues to promote its presence in the Canary Islands, where it has been present since 2010 and already has a network of 33 points of sale and a workforce of 1,200 people . With its activity, the chain generates more than 3,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs (0.36% of the total) and an impact on GDP of 145 million euros per year (0.37% of the total), according to data from PwC.
Since its arrival in the archipelago, in 2010, the company promotes and encourages the consumption of regional products thanks to its own label, Compro Canario, with which it identifies the more than 750 Canarian articles that, throughout the year, it offers in their stores.
The Yoyo Santana street establishment will open from Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
This boost to the local product is possible thanks to the joint work that Lidl develops with a hundred Canarian suppliers. In the last six years, the company has increased the number of local suppliers by nearly 40%, from whom it buys merchandise worth around 50 million euros per year, the company says.
In addition to its network of stores, Lidl promotes and promotes local products within the Canary Islands through channels such as the weekly brochure, the website www.lidl-canarias.es, the Lidl Plus app and special product promotion campaigns Canary.
