Customers will also be able to make use of the store’s new recycling station, which will feature state-of-the-art reverse vending machines and will be in operation prior to the launch of the Scottish Government’s Deposit Return Scheme in August 2023

Lidl GB’s Regional Head of Property, Gordon Rafferty, commented: “We would like to thank customers for their patience and understanding these past three months while renovation works to our Newkirkgate store have taken place.

"We look forward to welcoming the people of Leith back through our doors to enjoy an enhanced shopping experience.”
