Lidl supermarket chain has opened its thirty-second store in Malaga province, with an investment of €5.6 million for construction and equipment. It is their 700th store in Spain.
It can be found on Avenida de Europa, next to the Torrequebrada coastal road, and has generated 30 local jobs and added to the supermarket chain’s more than 900 strong workforce in the province.

The supermarket has a total area of 1,429 square metres, a large car park with 93 spaces, and three free charging points for electric vehicles. The design of the Benalmádena store also counts on 528 square meters for photovoltaic solar panels, generating around 30% of the total energy needs of the site. Other energy efficiency measures include LED lighting and low-consumption heat and cold machinery.
The new site offers fresh products and regional references, such as sausages, cheeses, beers, fruits, and vegetables. This marks the seventh opening of Lidl in the last five years in the province, after the openings of five in the Malaga capital and Torremolinos. With this new store in Benalmádena, Lidl has already reached 700 stores in Spain all together, accelerating its expansion plan. The mayor of Benalmádena, Juan Antonio Lara, is planning to do a bit of shopping there next weekend.
