Lidl GB has confirmed that it is currently in the process of modernising the existing supermarket on Stakesby Road, which the company says will see an overall enhancement of the customer experience.
As part of the works, the store will undergo an extension to increase the sales area to provide a larger in-store bakery offering, as well as a customer toilet as well as baby changing facilities.

The modernisation will also see the instalment of two new rapid electric vehicle charging points.
To enable the extension, the store will be closed from 8pm on Wednesday August 31 for around two months, with a view to reopening later this autumn.
Customers can continue to have access to the supermarket's produce at its nearby stores on Seamer Road, Scarborough and Enfield Chase, Guisborough.
