Lidl reveals plans to open first pub at new Dundonald supermarket

German discounter Lidl has confirmed plans to open its first pub on the island of Ireland in one of its supermarkets in the north.

The grocery chain has submitted a planning application to turn part of its new store in Dundonald into a public house.

Lidl returned to the site with a new £7 million concept store in November, demolishing an older building that it last occupied in 2012.

But now the new Dundonald store is set for another first that could soon see shoppers sitting down to a pint at the bar with their shopping.
