The new store on Mossbell Road in Bellshill has a 1,256 square metre sales area and hosts an in-store bakery.
The store also has solar panels installed on the roof and electric vehicle charging points in the associated car park.
Lidl’s second store in North Lanarkshire, which is currently being built in Airdrie, is set to open later this year.
Among the first customers at 8am were North Lanarkshire Council leader Jim Logue and other local councillors.
Gordon Rafferty, Lidl GB’s regional of property, said: “Today is the first of two stores opening in North Lanarkshire and it forms part of our ongoing investment in the region, which includes the opening of Lidl’s Regional Distribution Centre in Motherwell in 2019.”
“The Bellshill store will bring even more great products and fantastic offers to the people of Bellshill, as well as showcasing some of the incredible Scottish produce we stock throughout the year.”
Lidl Bellshill will also be providing surplus food and customer donations to Kirkwood Community Aid, Clarkston Primary and Food for Thought Motherwell.
This is delivered through Lidl’s Feed it Back scheme, which is run in partnership with Neighbourly and connects Lidl stores up and down the country with local charities, foodbanks, community cafes and kitchens, putting quality food surplus to use.
