Despite the mixed weather forecast, with temperatures set to drop again over the weekend, Lidl GB is predicting a surge in ice cream sales, after seeing an 8.1% in sales of its frozen range during the recent rainy period.
The update comes as Lidl GB confirms its bank holiday opening times, while sharing the quietest times to shop as customers gear up for the long weekend ahead.
Lidl GB stores will be open as normal on the Saturday and Sunday. On the Bank Holiday Monday, stores across England and Wales will open between 8am and 8pm, whilst stores in Scotland will remain open as normal. Some store opening times may vary, so customers are advised to check the store finder on Lidl’s website for details on their local store.
For those who want to plan ahead, data from the discounter predicts that the quietest times to shop will be before 10am on Saturday and after 6pm, while Sunday before 11am and after 4pm will see quieter aisles.
Customers planning to stock up on frozen treats will be able to get their hands a range of ice creams and lollies, including its Gelatelli Classic Ice Creams (£2.65) that recently received the Which? Best Buy accolade in June 2023.
Whatever customers want to buy for the Bank Holiday, they will be guaranteed to bag a bargain after Lidl GB was crowned cheapest supermarket for seven months in a row by Manchester Evening News, whilst being named cheapest supermarket for BBQ essentials by Which? magazine.
