LIDL Ireland fans are set to rush to stores to buy designer clothes from just €29.99 in the middle aisle.
The supermarket giant is set to sell Tommy Hilfiger clothing from November 21.
There is a range of both men’s clothing and women’s clothing set to hit the middle aisle as part of the fashion bargain.
The Tommy Hilfiger Men’s Polo Shirt will land on shelves for just €29.99 just a fraction of the recommended retail price of €69.
The shirt comes in grey, black and a navy blue in sizes M right up to XL.
And the women’s version of the polo shirt will also land on Lidl’s middle aisles across the country on November 21.
The Tommy Hilfiger Ladies’ Polo Shirt comes in a bright pink, an aqua blue and a navy blue.
It features a collared neckline with three buttons down the front neck area and has short sleeves.
To the side Tommy Hilfiger white and red logo sits on the chest area similar to the men’s style.
And also like the men’s polo shirts, the female version will go on sale for just €29.99 down from the recommended €69 price.
The Tommy Hilfiger Ladies’ Polo Shirt comes in sizes S to L.
By nabbing the bargain in the middle aisle you can save €40.
And the polo shirts are not the only Tommy Hilfiger bargain set to hit the middle aisle.
The Tommy Hilfiger Ladies’ Hoodie and Tommy Hilfiger Men’s Hoodie are both set to land on November 21 at a whopping half price.
The men’s hoodie comes in black and navy with a large Tommy Hilfiger logo in the centre of the chest.
It comes in sizes M to XL and will go on sale for €49.99 instead of the recommended €119 retail price.
And the ladies’ hoodie comes in a beautiful pink, aqua blue and navy blue, so you can match them to the polo shirt and buy a matching set.
The hoodie features a large logo in the middle of the chest just like the men’s version.
The hoodie comes in sizes S to L in the female version.
And it also will be available at the over half price mark of €49.99.
This will save you €69.01 on your designer purchase.
Meanwhile, Lidl Ireland will pull down the shutters on all of its shops on Christmas Day, St Stephen’s Day and New Year’s Day.
The retailer, which has over 180 stores across the Republic of Ireland, will close their stores early on some evenings over the festive season.
Lidl stores are usually open from 8am to 10pm during the week and 9am to 9pm on weekends.
But over the festive period, the popular supermarket also offers extended opening hours to ensure customers have plenty of time to prepare for the big day.
And they will shorten the hours on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day to ensure staff have a chance to take a break over the festive period.
Lidl stores are set to close on Christmas Day and St Stephen’s Day.
On Christmas Eve, they will open at 8am as normal but close slightly earlier at 6pm.
And after closing on December 25 and 26, stores will return to their normal opening hours until New Year’s Eve.
On December 31, Lidl shops will open at 8am as normal and remain open until 6pm.
All Lidl stores will then be closed on New Year’s Day.
They will return to their normal opening hours from Thursday January 2.
THE HISTORY OF LIDL IN IRELAND
LIDL first opened in Germany in 1973.
Back then, it employed just three people, stocking 500 product lines.
The first Irish store, located just off Molesworth Street in Dublin, was opened in 1999.
This was Lidl’s first entry into the Irish grocery market.
Then, Lidl opened more stores in 2000, in Limerick, Letterkenny, Mullingar, Athlone, Cavan, Ballinasloe and Portlaoise.
Now, the retailer has over 180 stores and three distribution centres, employing over 6,000 people.
They work with a network of more than 260 Irish suppliers from the communities they operate in.
