Lidl opens a new store in Fucecchio (Fi) and creates a public green area of over 5.500 sq m

Lidl Italia has opened its first store in Fucecchio (Fi) on Via Provinciale Fiorentina, in the Samo area.

The opening is part of the company's wider expansion plan in Tuscany, where it now has more than 40 stores, the latest of which opened in Arezzo 2 weeks ago, as well as a logistics centre in Pontedera (Pi). The new supermarket replaces Lidl's historic store in Santa Croce sull'Arno, located just a few hundred metres away and no longer meeting the brand's quality and structural standards, with a modern and functional building.

The new store

The new supermarket, with a 1.340 sq m sales area, is equipped with a photovoltaic system of 179 kWp and uses exclusively electricity covered by Guarantees of Origin, certifying its renewable origin. The LED systems installed in the new store also make it possible to reduce electricity consumption for lighting by 50% compared with previous technologies.

Works for the local area

Among the urban development works agreed with the Municipality, Lidl has created a public green area of over 5.500 sq m in the area between Via Provinciale Fiorentina and Via Alvisi, equipping the park with a multi-purpose section for practising various sports. Also outside the store, Lidl has contributed to improving local roads and has built a car park with more than 160 parking spaces, more than 70 of which are public, as well as a charging station for electric vehicles.

The range

Inside the new store, customers will be welcomed by the fruit and vegetable department with many fresh products from Italian supply chains, replenished daily, and by the bakery area, offering sweet and savoury baked specialities produced throughout the day. Among the brand's most popular ranges are Deluxe, a premium brand dedicated to food excellence, and Italiamo, the range that celebrates our country's gastronomic tradition.

The range also includes a selection of V-Label-certified vegetarian and vegan products under the Vemondo brand, updated weekly with new products in&out. At the new Fucecchio store, as in all of Lidl's more than 800 stores in Italy, meal vouchers are accepted, and gift cards are also available for private customers, businesses, institutions and organisations wishing to give their employees a tangible benefit that can be used immediately.
