Ikea is nice store and has ok things considering the price but the quality is not high. I hope that when they talk about lower prices at LiDL they mean lower prices on known brands and not just LiDL home brands.

Lidl don,t do known brands, they do German brands approx 1200 standard products in each store topped up with special offers weekly and local produce, it seems to work in 9000 other shops. Their regular adverts on the tv always show brands unknown to most, but they sell them by the warehouse load throughout Europe.

The local produce will be marked marginally down compared to other supermarkets, fact.

A Cypriot company invests a million pounds in a given venture and expects to recoup investment in a year unlike European companies that are much more geared to long term investments with sustainable returns.
Lidls entry into Cyprus will induce new thinking of the Cypriot food stores agenda of buy cheap and sell as high as possible.

Lidl offers great food at great prices , restricted lines yes but fantastic value nevertheless , their FRESH meats and fish are excellent some of the best I would say .Fresh chickens at knock down prices in comparisson to those if other stores , fresh smoked salmon that wad recently voted by grocer magazine as the finest in the Uk , beef and lamb at superb prices
I think I will apply for a few ....shares !!!!

Are you kidding me man?! Salmon from LIDL!?! "Fresh" meat?!?!

And you are in the catering business?

First of all LIDL is at the bottom of the supermarket food chain, ASDA has more quality and class yet that is just as scummy but at least edible.

Cheap and scummy food might be pretty popular in Europe, but this is the Mediterranean god dam it, no one is going to expect me to shop from LIDL!

More than ONE MILLION people shop daily at LIDL !!!!
Their Icelandic FRESH Smoked Salmon is superb and a bloody good value for money and so are most of their other products.
Another important aspect is their treatment of their staff , European way not as the way that Cypriot supermarkets treat their staff !!

30 Billion people eat Mc Donalds every day, does not make it good, but cheap, yes!

Cypriot markets treat their staff like shit probably because Cypriots treat everyone like shit!!

If I want good smoked salmon I would go to a million other place before I would walk into a LIDL!

Give it up man, LIDL is scum, anyone with a half taste for decent food would at least go to Tescos!

So according to your half baked views the 8000 plus stores across Europe are .....scum !!!! The people who run them must be bloody geniuses selling scum to Europeans. Are you a food connoisseur by any chance !!!!

My view would be "half baked" if places like Mc Donalds did not exist, but they do, a lot more than LIDL.

Stop trying to pull a relation between numbers and quality, it does not work that way.

What are you anyways, a LIDL representative?

Ikea is one of the most productive shops in Nicosia because of their products and more importantly their prices.

You get rubbish you pay rubbish!

but in cyprus you pay high and get rubbish, pay lower and get even worse.

That is the wonders of the EU.

Over on this side we still pay rubbish for rubbish and good money for good stuff

[quote="shahmaran"]I am sorry but LIDL is nothing but a cheap shit hole for cheapskate North Europeans who would eat cardboard to stay alive.

Surely Cypriots would have a lot more to look forward to than cheap tin/frozen cuisine! [/quote]

watch your language. Only because there is something bigger as you even imagine.

ok ... so you mean they don't sell things like say Kellogg or Alpen cereals? Just LiDL cereals?

[quote="Milo"]Its a busy supermarket in Greece, but here there is some worry for the pricing cartels, who have had things their own way a little to long.

The last paragraph is interesting.

[i]Daily Phileleftheros said yesterday that supermarkets are pressuring suppliers not to provide LiDL with local produce, and have already terminated their collaboration with certain suppliers who have struck up partnerships with the German discount chain.[/i]

Who cares what they sell? Its the competition we need. Consumers should rule, they don,t in Cyprus. Ikea is one of the most productive shops in Nicosia because of their products and more importantly their prices.

All hail to Lidl

[quote="Trendy"]Anyone knows when Lidl opens now in Cyprus.
