Store opening times will be between 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday. Forty new jobs have been created.

Lidl GB’s regional head of property Jason Buckley said: “We would like to thank all those who have played a part in bringing this new Lidl store to Abingdon.
"It is great for us to be able to create more jobs and investment opportunities in the area, and we can’t wait to start serving our multi-award winning products to the local community.”
The wearing of face coverings in supermarkets is still mandatory, and Lidl operates a range of social distancing measures.
