I fully expect a similar Aldi leaflet to drop through the letterbox in the next 24 hours - they're not going to let the new Lidl opening go unchallenged! I don't agree that Lidl will snarl up traffic in the area but I would agree those traffic signals, as they are, are far from optimal.

The building is complete and they’re stocking the store at the old Heiton Buckley site, with the finishing touches to some landscaping and paving work taking place before the opening. Their second store in Tralee – the other Lidl is located on the Castlemaine Road – will result in an investment of approximately €6.5million in the area. Between 15 and 20 new positions will be created while their current store will retain its 23 staff. This is the German supermarket giant’s 150th store in Ireland. The outlet is almost 2,800 square metres over two floors and will have 131 car parking spaces and 27 spaces for bicycleshttp://traleetoday.ie/20-jobs-created-new-lidl-opens-thursday/
