Our proposals represent a significant long-term investment in the local area, as part of a wider investment plan covering the whole of the city. Wolverhampton and the community around Bushbury Lane will benefit from a leading supermarket chain, which provides high-quality produce whilst delivering a significant saving on an average weekly shop. 

With the surging cost-of-living crisis impacting the lives of many people across the UK, it will help local families stretch their weekly budgets. If granted planning permission the store could be operational in 2023, providing immediate benefit to local families and bringing the site back into use quickly.

The proposed store will also create up to 40 new full-time equivalent jobs and represent a multi-million-pound investment. During construction there will be further employment opportunities, as well as jobs created throughout the supply chain. For all our roles we will work with job centres and the Council to ensure the majority of vacancies are filled by local people.

The Lidl store on Bushbury Lane offers significant benefits to the community and will become a major local asset.
