Lidl has opened a new supermarket in Torre del Mar after investing more than €7.5million in the site, the chain told The Spanish Eye.
The store, at 58 Calle Carrera de las Angustias, is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 9.30pm.
It will serve shoppers while Lidl’s older branch at 14 Avenida del Rey Juan Carlos I undergoes a full refurbishment.
The company expects that branch to reopen in the second half of 2027.
The new supermarket has more than 1,500m2 of shop floor, 96 parking spaces and three electric vehicle charging points.
It is staffed by 37 people and has 520m2 of rooftop solar panels that supply part of the store’s electricity.
The opening is Lidl’s fourth in Malaga province in less than a year, bringing its provincial network to 36 stores, according to the company.
Velez-Malaga’s new mayor, Jesus Maria Claros, toured the supermarket with Lidl regional director Sophie Chatel in one of his first official engagements since taking office.
