Lidl is an European discount supermarket chain of German origin that operates 7.000 stores in over 17 countries. It belongs to the holding company Schwarz.

The store closed on 3rd November 2021 following the opening of the new store at the bottom of Hamstead Hill - Lidl Hamstead Hill

The site is currently up for sale/rent.

In January 2016 ALDI launched a consultation about their proposal to build a new store next to ASDA Queslett.
