New Store to open on Thursday 20 March 2003.
 Wick and the east
of Caithness will suddenly find itself with three supermarkets with the
opening of Lidl's newest store. After many years of grocery
domination by the Coop and Safeways (formerly Presto's) there will now be
three big stores. Many folk already know what to expect from their
visits to Lidl's in Thurso. The site is a scene of
frenetic activity as the days tick by. Roads, pavements, electrics,
phones and many other jobs are in the final stages. 5 February 2003
Lidl Advertsing For Staff At Wick and Thurso
The new supermarket chain due to open soon on the
outskirts of Wick is offering very competitive rates of pay by advertising
up to £7 an hour for its stores in the county. It remains to
be seen if there will be a quick change around in staff in other shops
offering much lower rates. With J D Wetherspoons looking to employ
up to 35 staff in their new pub/restaurant some employers may need to look
soon at their wage rates if they are to retain experienced staff.
