Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJHNRH - Lidl's slowdown of store openings is set to last until 2026, according to a construction graduate affected by recent property job cuts at the discounter.
The slowdown has also extended to recruitment, with Lidl taking on few new starters other than in areas essential to continued operation such as in stores and logistics.
Lidl, which previously opened about 50 stores a year, in February cut its official projection for 2023 to 25. The discounter has stuck to the figure, though a range of sources have said the number of stores it plans to open this year is closer to 10.
The slowdown led to the redundancy of about 12 construction graduates who were taken on in September last year, only to learn of the construction slowdown in November and job cuts in January.
They went from about 50 sites year to 12 for the financial year 2022-23, said the source. They said it was going to be seven in 2023-24 and that it wouldn't resume until 2026.
The source said Lidl had also basically stopped recruitment other than for stores and logistics roles.
Of 298 job opportunities listed on Lidl's careers page on 16 March, 281 were either in stores or as warehouse operatives. Lidl was also advertising a warehouse recruitment open day at its Exeter RDC on 20 March.
Seven vacancies were listed based at Lidl's head office in Surbiton, London. The number of head office-based roles had fluctuated during the week, having been four on 14 March, when The Grocer first approached Lidl for a comment on the numbers.
In contrast, Aldi is currently recruiting for about 100 job opportunities at its head office in Atherstone, Warwickshire, not including warehouse roles.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ADR2CY - If you're looking for some festive cheer, Manchester plays host to one of the biggest and best Christmas Sehenswürdigkeiten outside of Germany, with more than 300 wooden chalets spread across 10 different locations throughout the city.
Originally introduced to the city in 1999, the Christmas markets have grown bigger and better each year, attracting Europe's finest street food vendors and crafters. It's a great place to buy Yuletide gifts, such as fine jewellery, handcrafted leather bags and artisan soaps. Your taste buds will also be tantalised with so many wide ranging food options on offer, including things like German bratwurst, hog roast, Spanish paella and Dutch pancakes. Yum!
Thought Christmas markets were just for December? This year the Christmas Markets will open in November in Manchester city centre, so there's plenty of time to don your best Christmas jumper, drink mulled wine and chow down on pretzels.
