A much-loved Lidl store in Beckenham is set to close its doors for good next week.
The Lidl store located in Beckenham, Bromley, is set to permanently shut its doors on Wednesday, November 15.
This is because the lease for the store has come to an end.
The popular supermarket, located on the High Street, has received backlash on social media from local customers, with one labelling it as “beyond devastating”.
A spokesperson for Lidl said that they are having “active discussions” about relocating the store to a nearby site.
“We will update the local community in due course”, the spokesperson added.
Lidl trades over 100 stores in London and within the M25 with requirements for more than one hundred more stores.
Plans suggest Lidl are looking for opportunities to expand the brand in shopping centres, high streets, and retail parks.
A spokesperson for Lidl said: “Whilst the lease on our current store in Beckenham has come to an end, we are having active discussions about relocating the store to a nearby site, which we will update the local community on in due course.”
