Lidl reopens its facilities located on Avenida de la Democracia (corner of Calle La Constitución), in San Isidro (Granadilla de Abona), after investing 3.6 million euros in the comprehensive improvement of this point of sale, which remained closed since last July. The works focused mainly on providing the town with more modern and efficient facilities and promoting the sustainability of the establishment. To do this, improvements were made to the equipment (air conditioning, fire protection…) and sustainability measures such as LED lighting were implemented to take advantage of natural light.
The supermarket chain also installed, for the first time in the city, four recharging points for electric vehicles and redistributed its car park (with 90 spaces) to make it more accessible and easy to manoeuvre, thus improving the shopping experience for its customers.
As the regional director of Lidl in the Canary Islands, Luis González, underlines, “beyond the improvement in the shopping experience and the promotion of sustainability, in the works of this store we have complied with another third fundamental principle in our policy, that of support for local businesses”, referring to the contracting of the Daltre construction company from Tenerife to carry out this intervention.
The improvement of the Granadilla facilities, which have 1,300 square meters of sales room, generates eight new jobs, which are added to the existing ones, so that a workforce of 38 employees is reached. This increase in more than 25% of its store team allows it to attend to the needs of its customers during extended opening hours: from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
This reopening is one more milestone in the company’s ambitious expansion plan in the Canary Islands for this fiscal year. To date, it has already opened the doors of two new stores in Telde and Tacoronte (August) and has renovated the center it had in operation in Adeje (June). With these actions, the supermarket chain has a network of 33 points of sale and a workforce of more than 1,200 people.
